Concert Promo Street Team

Organization: Shriners Hospital in Los Angeles
Date: Saturday, February 28th
Details: 15-20 volunteers to go to Santa Barbara to distribute handouts at local stores for a special concert benefiting the hospital. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided. In addition, we will cover mileage and you will get credit for over 10 volunteer hours. Shriners Hospital is a non-profit hospital that treats child with very specialized conditions at no charge to them. Funding for the hospital comes from the Shriners, a fraternal organization, and donors. This summer, we are hosting a concert series and need to get the word out to get people to buy tickets. That is where the volunteers come in. We need able bodies that can represent the hospital and be effective. Joyeta Basu is coordinating this volunteer project for the Shriners Hospital. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact her at joyetabasu@gmail.com.

Getting to the Staples Center

Below is a map of how I typically get to the Staples Center / Nokia Live Theater/Grammy Museum area. Sometimes you'll find free parking on Flower Street, especially south of Pico. Otherwise, there are a ton of surface lots. The prices fluctuate between $7 and $20, and they change the signs to higher prices as gametime approaches! For the 1pm Kings game, I recommend leaving Oakwood at noon.
