(Norman, OKLA. Feb. 20) Feed The Children and Oklahoma City Thunder starting
forward Thabo Sefolosha are partnering to host Children at the Chesapeake in Oklahoma
City on Saturday, March 8. Tickets are $65 and all proceeds will go to fighting child
hunger and poverty in the state of Oklahoma.

I am excited to once again work with Feed The Children and CEO Kevin Hagan to help
children in Oklahoma, said Sefolosha, who raised funds for Feed The Children last year.

Hagan is also excited, stating, We are proud that Thabo Sefolosha is continuing our
partnership to fulfill our mission that no child goes to bed hungry.

Children at the Chesapeake activities will begin at 4 p.m. in Loves Thunder Alley with
carnival games and a silent auction for autographed Oklahoma City Thunder
merchandise. The Thunder Girls and mascot Rumble will also make an appearance.

At 6 p.m. dinner will be provided for ticket holders inside the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
During this time Hagan will hold a Q&A session for attendees curious about Feed The
Children and how to become involved. Sefolosha will also speak about his experiences
with Feed The Children and sign autographs immediately following dinner.

The U.S. Census Bureau calculated in 2010 that over 226,000 Oklahoma children lived in
poverty, or enough children to fill the Chesapeake Energy Arena 12 times.

Feed The Children was founded in 1979 and is one of the largest international charities
headquartered in the U.S. Their mission is to fight child hunger by providing hope and
resources for those without life's essentials. Feed The Children also provides school
supplies for children and aids in disaster relief. Charity Navigator, the most experienced
charity evaluator in the U.S., gives Feed The Children four out of four stars. The vision of
Feed The Children is that no child or family goes to bed hungry.
