Ambassadors partner with Playworks of Oakland/East Bay

May 19, 2011 - PRLog -- On May 28th, the Bay Area Ambassadors will host a fundraising event in partnership with Playworks of Oakland.  

Proceeds from Adult Ticket Sales will go directly to the Playworks Oakland/East Bay organization and kids and parents alike are encouraged to spread the word and help a worthy cause.  

“Playworks is the only nonprofit organization in the country to send trained, full-time program coordinators, called "coaches" to low-income, urban schools, where they transform recess and play into a positive experience that helps kids and teachers get the most out of every learning opportunity throughout the school day. The coaches become part of the school community, working full-time to provide organized play and physical activity through the five components of the Playworks program. They organize games and activities during recess, provide individual class game times and run a leadership development program during school hours. They also run Playworks tutoring and physical activity programs and developmental sports leagues during after school hours.”  -- www.playworks.org

Kids get in free with a ticket and Bay Area Ambassadors FC  players will be available after the game for autographs.  

A portion of all adult ticket sales will be donated to support Playworks Oakland/East Bay programs.

When:  Saturday, May 28, 2011 6 p.m.
Where:  Chabot College - 25555 Hesperian Blvd. Hayward, CA

Kids at a Playworks partner school can pick a free ticket from their Playworks Coach, or contact Kyonne Isacc,  East Bay Community Engagement Coordinator.
