WHAT: Charity Football Game

WHEN: Saturday, May 3, 2008

4:00 p.m.

ADDITIONAL: Since 1978, the LAPD Centurions have been "playing football for kids."

This unique fraternity of Los Angeles Police Officers practice, play, and

travel on their off-duty time to raise money for the Blind Childrens' Center

This year, the Centurions are dedicating the 2008 season to SWAT Officer

1980s and 1990s.

The LAPD "Centurions" and NYPD's "Finest" are two of 20 law enforcement and public safety football teams that travel nationwide to play football and raise money for charity. The LAPD Centurions are proud to be a part of this organization that put so much emphasis on giving back to the community.
