The UCLA Black Alumni Association (UBAA) Legacy Scholarship
Reception & Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, June 4 at 3 p.m. Hosted by
UCLA men's basketball head coach Ben Howland, the event will feature Bruin
men's basketball alumni, current NBA and NFL players, along with notable UCLA
alumni and members of the Wooden family.
The highlight of Saturday's UBAA event is the premiere of "The Wooden Event," a 20-minute feature with a never-before-seen interview with John R. Wooden, as well as exclusive commentary from his Bruin players, including Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton, as well as Jamaal Wilkes and Marques Johnson.
"The Wooden Effect" was produced and directed by Point Forward Productions, a film company established by UCLA men's basketball alumni, including Marques Johnson, his son's Kris and Josiah Johnson and Quinn Hawking.
The event is from 3-6 p.m. and will take place at a private residence in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. Confirmed RSVPs include UCLA Chancellor Gene Block and Bruin athletic greats Rafer Johnson, Ed O'Bannon, Lucius Allen, Tyus Edney and Earl Watson.
The UBAA's Legacy Scholarship Campaign is helping to preserve the legacy of African-American students at UCLA. UBAA's goal until 2012 is to raise at least $500,000 each year which will be matched 3:1 by the University. UBAA hopes to get more alumni involved in this effort to continue African American Legacy at UCLA. UBAA is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization. As such all gifts are tax deductible.
