MISSION STATEMENT: The Los Angeles Avengers are dedicated to enriching the lives of the youth and families of Southern California. Members of the Avengers family, from the coaching staff and players to the front office, are determined to "make a difference" in the surrounding community. The Los Angeles Avengers public relations department strives to facilitate interaction between the team and the community it serves and is committed to promoting diversity, teamwork and a sense of understanding among the residents of Los Angeles and surrounding counties. Through the programs it administers and supports throughout the year, the Avengers public relations department aspires to create and maintain a bond with the local community, while contributing to its development and progress.

The following procedures and guidelines are designed to assist you with your donation or appearance request, specifically as it relates to involvement by the Los Angeles Avengers.

Nonprofit organizations may apply for inclusion in the "Turf Dreams" ticket program, which involves the donation of approximately 1,000 tickets per home game to local charities, schools and churches throughout the season. ("Turf Dreams" is a unique charity opportunity for individuals or corporations to purchase blocks of tickets that in turn are donated to local charities by the Los Angeles Avengers.)

Elementary and middle schools may apply to participate in the "Stay in the Game to A.C.H.I.E.V.E." program, with which the Avengers strive to encourage and positively influence students. (The "Stay in the Game to A.C.H.I.E.V.E." program rewards students for their achievements with two complimentary tickets to a Los Angeles Avengers home game at STAPLES Center. Categories include: good attendance, straight A's, improving grades and the "Ninth-Man Award." Avenger players and coaches will facilitate this message to local schools by making personal appearances.)

Appearance Request Guidelines
The Los Angeles Avengers handle player, coach, "A-Team" dancer and "T.D." mascot appearance requests for charitable events in the Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and Ventura Counties. It is highly recommended that your event not center on the anticipation of involvement by the Los Angeles Avengers. Instead, the involvement should be approached as a complimentary element to your program because many requests are unable to be fulfilled due to the amount of requests received.
