As everyone awaits the return to the floor of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant next season, he recently announced that he would be partnering up with Sports Spectacular to raise awareness and help fight/prevent homelessness within the community.
Bryant and his wife Vanessa have a joint foundation, KVBFF, that offers support and outreach programs that aim to strengthen and enrich the community. The organization also provides vaccinations, healthcare and other various medical necessities to help the too many people that are facing homelessness.
Bryant announced on Wednesday a new contest on his social media accounts that is meant to raise awareness and monetary support to benefit KVBFF and Sports Spectacular's campaign. The winner of the contest will have the chance to personally meet with Bryant on top of other rewards. Here's how Bryant explained the contest rules, taken from the contest site's site:
"Hey Guys,
You know how much I enjoy connecting with my fans, so I'm thrilled to tell you about an amazing experience that we've put together for you.
By supporting KVBFF and Sports Spectacular with a small donation toward our mission to fight homelessness, you'll be entered to win the ultimate Kobe experience.
On August 15th I'l be sitting down with Jimmy Kimmel at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live for Kobe Up Close, and I'm going to fly the winner and a friend out to join me. We'll set you up with a place to stay, front row tickets to the show, and passes to the VIP reception beforehand.
And because no Kobe experience would be complete without a little one on one time, you'll get the chance to hang out with me before the show and play a game (but I'm not going to tell you what game yet because I don't want you to have the upper hand).
Good luck, and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. Mamba out."
