According to the Warriors’ official website, a portion of the proceeds from each Filipino Heritage Night event ticket sold will be donated back to support local Filipino organizations throughout the Bay Area.
A second Filipino Heritage Night is scheduled for March 25, 2016, when Golden State faces the Dallas Mavericks.
Fans who purchase tickets for the game against Brooklyn will secure a seat in the Filipino Heritage Night section and will receive a commemorative Warriors “Kampeon” t-shirt.
The Warriors will also have “unique cultural entertainment” at the Oracle Arena, where there will be a halftime performance by the American Center of Philippine Arts.
The Warriors will also have a Filipino Heritage Night pregame tailgate that features popular Filipino food trucks and live entertainment by DJ Romeo. – Rappler.com
