About the event: Following insert from LA Live.

“It’s AEG’s “Season of Giving and we wanted to give back in a BIG way. What bigger way than with LA Clippers star Chris Paul?

AEG and the CP3 Foundation threw a holiday party at Lucky Strike L.A. LIVE for 100 children from education and recreation program LA’s BEST on Thursday, December 12th. The children spent the afternoon enjoying games of bowling and food. Each of the kids took a one-on-one photo with Chris, who personally gave each child a holiday present, courtesy of Mattel Children’s Foundation.

Nickelodeon stars Benjamin Flores Jr., Breanna Yde, and Chico Beymon from the hit show “Haunted Hathaways” were also on hand for the joyous holiday festivities. This is the fifth year of AEG’s Season of Giving.”
