Local Young Professionals Networking Group (YPNG) hosts 11th Annual Movie Night, The Sandlot, to benefit the Special Olympics

WHEN: Saturday, October 20, 2018 at 6 PM – 9 PM
WHERE: Sinsheimer Park, 900 Southwood Dr, San Luis Obispo, California 93401
HOW: Tickets available https://www.ypng.org/shop/ and for non-members on Eventbrite

You won’t want to miss this awesome fundraiser! Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the childhood classic, The Sandlot, with YPNG at the 11th annual Movie Night. Proceeds from this event will be donated to Special Olympics. There’s no better way to watch this movie than sitting back and relaxing at the ballpark. Bring your own chair or blanket and get cozy. Starting at 6pm, we’ll play lawn games and have snacks, popcorn, wine, and water available for purchase. Knockerball will also have an obstacle course set up for everyone to check out (with a suggested donation). Knockerball is a single chamber inflatable bubble with inner handles and adjustable shoulder straps; it’s truly a blast resulting in serious pain from laughing so hard and having way too much fun.

Exciting prizes from our generous donors include: Chamisal Winery tasting package for four, two hours of paddle boarding at Avila Paddlesports, a Doterra Blue package, a fun game and gift card from Whiz Kids, and more! Raffle tickets will be available for purchase and winners will be announced before the movie starts at 7:45pm (and should run until about 9:30pm).
This year, we are proud to share that our nonprofit partner is the Special Olympics (more information available below).
