Sports plays a special role in society and when we join forces it only amplifies what we can accomplish, and with more than 300,000 units of merchandise to aide local shelters and other worthwhile local programs we can collectively accomplish so much. On behalf of the LA Kings and AEG we are thrilled to work with Mayor Garcetti to help support the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles.”Fans are encouraged to visit the site often as new items will be added as they become available as well as other ways to support those affected in our region.
