The Sacramento Kings announced Wednesday its list of events as part of their annual Season of Doing Good.
In its 21st year, the team partners with local grocery chain Raley’s to invest in the community by spreading holiday cheer.
“The holidays are a special time of year when the Sacramento Kings spread extra joy and give back to the community,” Sacramento Kings Chief Operating Officer Matina Kolokotronis said in the team’s press release. “We look forward to joining our partner Raley’s to help local families in need this holiday season.”
The first event is planned for Wednesday, Nov. 16, when the team hosts its annual Eat Like A King feast at the Golden 1 Center. Players and coaches from both the Sacramento and Stockton Kings will serve meals to “over 200 youth and their families from underserved areas of Sacramento.”
