Event Description

CRICKETERS FOR PEACE - AN SCCA EVENT ON OPENING DAY (MARCH 29, 2009)

Friends - the Southern California Cricket Association ("SCCA") will be hosting an opening day event, unlike any other on March 29, 2009 at Woodley Cricket Park in Van Nuys, California. As many of you may have heard, the Organizing Committee recently announced that the opening day ceremony would be a celebration of solidarity and peace amongst cricketers - in this regard, the SCCA will stage two Twenty20 exhibition matches featuring four teams: Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. The teams will include our most promising and talented cricketers from all divisions, as well as locally based international stars. The names of the teams are a representation of the wide reach of the sport, and each cricketer selected to represent a region, will be an Ambassador for peace.

This unique event has overwhelming support from the Consulates of Australia, Britain, Bangladesh, India, Jamaica, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka, as well as organizations such as the Council of Pakistan American Affairs, Palaama, the British Association of Film and Theater Actors, the Hollywood Ahses, and local businesses. Through this tremendous collection of patrons, the event has received tremendous community interest, and we anticipate the largest gathering of spectators at Woodley park, in SCCA history.

As part of the opening day celebration, we will also honor last years winners and star performers through a befitting presentation ceremony. In addition, we are requesting and requiring ALL SCCA teams to be present for team photos. This is a unique opportunity to have your team photographs taken by a professional for SCCA records, the website, and media packages.

Please do your part by encouraging your teammates, friends, colleagues and family to join us for an entertaining day in the sun. A flyer has been attached for your information and distribution.
