Kings Final Spotlight Night of Season Celebrates Education, Honors Local Teachers

On Saturday, March 3, the Sacramento Kings Foundation will host the third and final “Spotlight Night” of the 2017-18 season, supporting regional nonprofits by using basketball as an agent of change in the community. As the team takes on the Utah Jazz, the Kings Foundation will support the missions of Men’s Leadership Academy and Women’s Leadership Academy, two nonprofits piloted in the Sacramento County Unified School District. Both nonprofits work to encourage students who are at risk of dropping out of school to become leaders while being responsible and respectful members of society.

"Through our annual Spotlight Night games, local nonprofits have a chance to elevate the important causes they represent and continue to do good in our community," said Sacramento Kings Chief Operating Officer Matina Kolokotronis.
