Take the LA Kings Green Challenge and Enter to Win a Pair of Tickets!

The LA Kings Care Foundation and Grades of Green have teamed up to challenge families to keep active, think green and have fun with the family while staying at home in response to the coronavirus.
As part of LA Kings G.O.A.L.S. program with Blue Shield of California, the #LAKingsGreen Challenge, encourages parents to work with their child(ren) to find a fun, surprising way to reuse something from home that normally gets thrown in the trash.

Take the #LAKingsGreen Challenge Now!

How the Challenge Works
The Kings Care Foundation will award the first 50 eligible participants who share their creation on social media a pair of tickets to one (1) LA Kings 2020-21 preseason home game at STAPLES Center!
To qualify, a parent or legal guardian must post a picture of their child(ren) posing with their repurposed item on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and include the hashtag #LAKingsGreen, tag the Kings Care Foundation and Grades of Green. The challenge is open from April 8, 2020, at 10 am PDT through April 17, 2020, at 5 pm PDT.
There are plenty of ways people can make art, a toy or something useful out of items that usually get thrown away. For instance, families can turn an old shirt into a reusable grocery bag, make art out of bottle tops, cut out old magazines to make stationary or weave rugs out of an old pair of jeans. Whatever the project, it's a fun way to get the kids thinking creatively about reducing the amount of waste we send to the landfill.
