Boulevard in a tricked out lowrider

LOS ANGELES, 14 JANUARY, 2015 - George Lopez, star of the new Pantelion (Lionsgate/Televisa)
film, Spare Parts, a true story about 4 high school students who form a robotics club on a shoe
string budget, invites people from all over the world to join efforts to get public education properly
funded with the launch of a new campaign entitled, LOWRIDE WITH GEORGE LOPEZ. Fans can

flights, 4-star hotel and dinner for 2 at one of the best restaurants in Beverly Hills. For each $10

school, the 2nd largest school district in the country, and TrueSpark, a non-profit charitable
organization that inspires children through character education that works with Beyond the Bell, a
division of the LAUSD.

LAUSD has faced severe budget cuts in recent years that are expected to continue. Nationwide, our
schools are losing billions of dollars in funding. LAUSD believes that all students deserve an
education that is relevant, engaging and prepares them for the high tech careers of the future, says
Alvaro Cortes, Executive Director of Beyond the Bell which runs award-winning robotics teams
across the district. We are so privileged to have George Lopez, one of our most successful
performing artist alums in the entertainment capital of the world support our mission to provide
full-time arts teachers in every artistic form at every school, says Rory Pullens, newly appointed
Executive Director of Arts Education. The 6-week program, powered by Opportunity Builders, LLC,
which starts on January 14, 2015 shares a message of hope for future performing artists,
filmmakers, engineers, scientists, and other professionals who will make our lives easier, more
enjoyable and solve problems we dont even know exist yet, says Seanne Murray, Esq., CEO of
Opportunity Builders.
