Lakewood, CA (PRWEB) June 16, 2005 -- Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)
and Narconon International has teamed up with the Los Angeles Kings Alumni
Association for a Father's Day Charity Hockey Game. The game is scheduled for
4:00 p.m. at the Glacial Gardens Ice Skating Arena in Lakewood, CA. The Los
Angeles Kings Alumni players set to appear include Kings General Manager Dave
Taylor, Ian Turnbull, Marty McSorley, Jim Fox, Mark Hardy and more. Alan Thicke
(Growing Pains), Dave Coulier (A Full House), Jason Doring (Veronica Mars), John
Enos (The Young and The Restless), Vincent Young (Beverly Hills 90210) along
with other celebrities from the worlds of film and television are schedule to
appear. The game will include three periods of hockey along with a stand-up
comedy performance prior to the game, "giveaways" between periods and a silent
auction of Los Angeles sports memorabilia at the arena.
The organizers
have also commissioned "The Ultimate Los Angeles Kings Hockey Experience" to be
auctioned off on Ebay (www.com/lakingalumni). The winning bidder will receive a
roster spot on the LA Kings Alumni/MADD Celebrity All Stars team, with playing
time, a hockey stick and vintage jersey autographed by the LA Kings Alumni, a
photo op with the players, four (4) tickets to the game, inclusion in the
players’ introductions and a VIP reception after the game. The Los Angeles Kings
will also provide four (4) tickets to a 2006 L.A. Kings home game, dinner for
four (4) at the Staples Center Arena Club (alcohol no included) and a tour of
the L.A. Kings locker room to the winning bidder.
The game was organized
by actor/filmmaker Kyle Gates Pagach of Exit 131 Productions to promote his
"Education through Entertainment" initiative. Mothers Against Drunk Driving
(MADD) has agreed to be the charity of choice for the Fall 2005 production of
his original screenplay titled "Exit 131," the story of an ex-high school
football player who returns home in search of forgiveness for the death of a 15
year old girl he knew in high school. MADD has agreed to allow the filmmaker to
produce and promote the project, with the organization as a beneficiary, from
charitable donations, corporate sponsorships and charity driven events. In
return, the film will become part of MADD's School Outreach Program and the
organization will use the film as a catalyst for teenagers and adults to create
dialogue focusing on the negative effects of underage drinking and impaired
driving.
