This season, through game night auctions, Los Angeles Lakers fans donated a total of $139,075 to the Lakers Youth Foundation! On behalf of the Lakers and the Foundation, we would like to say thank you for your support this season.
The monies raised through these auctions are donated to various youth organizations in the Los Angeles area. The Lakers Youth Foundation strives to support local non-profits that are dedicated to improving the quality of life in our community. The Foundation utilizes its resources to provide Los Angeles youth with educational, athletic, and recreational opportunities.
At every Lakers home game, on the main concourse across from aisle 12 and next to guest link, fans are invited to bid on one-of-a-kind Lakers memorabilia. The auction opens to silent bidding through the first and second quarters. Just before the end of half time, the bidding goes live and fans gather for a chance to purchase their favorite item of the night.
This season featured exciting Lakers items, such as a basketball signed by Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and his protégé, Andrew Bynum (sold for $2,450), an autographed pair of Kobe Bryant’s 81-Point Special Anniversary Limited Edition Basketball Shoes (sold for $5,700), and a framed poster autographed by Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kobe Bryant (sold for $3,000). The auctions also feature memorabilia from former players and members of other teams around the league.
These auctions would not be successful without the generosity of our loyal fans. Again, we thank you and we look forward to another successful season in 2007-2008!
