All net proceeds from the game went to raise funds and increase awareness for Josh's charity, Straight But Not Narrow. Check out the photos from the 2012 Event.

Well, back to the event! This year was an incredible turn out! It was great! Not only were fans treated to an exciting basketball game, an option for a meet & greet with Josh Hutcherson was available...and, boy, did those sell out FAST! After getting our wristbands for this event, we noticed the line of fans waiting for their moment to meet Josh Hutcherson, get a photo with him and get a signed Catching Fire poster. How cool was that! But, alas, we did not avail of such option...haha! As I looked around, I noticed that large groups of One Direction fans roaming around! Yes, there was a One Direction concert at the Staples Center as well! Every once in a while, while we waited for the game to start, we heard squeels from various groups of One Direction fans waiting for the doors to open to the Staples Center.







The Main Stage!

As the 6 o'clock hour arrived, we were allowed in to the basketball court area, and we made our way to the bleachers. The excitement was definitely building as we waited for the game to start. First one on the court to warm up was Ben Lyons!

Of course, one of the most exciting moment of this event was the presenting of the check! How awesome was that! Not only to raise funds for an important cause for the youth today, but to also raise awareness for their MISSION.

Another memorable and exciting moment during the game was the dance off with Josh Hutcherson! Yes, one lucky fan got to dance with Josh!

Dance off!
Everyone was just having waaaay too much fun! Yeah!

We were absolutely giddy with excitement throughout the entire game! Everyone played a good game and had fun! However, there was a concerned moment when James Lafferty got injured; but after the medics checked him out, it didn't look like it was too serious. But, he was still out of the game...he played a good game.

 

This was definitely a fun-filled and exciting Friday night for a good cause! What more can I say!!??!! This is my second year going, and we have had an incredibly amazing fun each time! It was definitely worth it to support such a great cause, and be part of the excitement and fun!
