Pitch 1:

Subject: Chase Center at Thrive City to Host a Grand Opening for the Ages
To: Ron Kroichick, Sports Columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle

Hi Ron,

Being the sports columnist that covers our beloved Golden State Warriors, I wanted to reach out
and give you the inside scoop on the Chase Center at Thrive City Grand Opening events this
September. In true Warriors fashion, the Chase Center is going above and beyond to give fans an
epic experience.

The Chase Center will host the Chase Block Party on Sept. 7 from 12-4 p.m. and fans can come
enjoy food, games, and a meet-and-greet with their favorite Warriors players. Fans can also start
gearing up for the season early at the 10,000-square foot Warriors Shop.

There are many more events and opportunities for fans to explore the new home of our 2017 and
2018 NBA Champions. I’ve attached a news release and an infographic with the highlights.

Please let me know if you’re interested in speaking with our Media Relations representative to
get the details.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
