The Los Angeles Department of Aging announced a "Take a Senior to a Game" initiative in partnership with the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks aimed at providing seniors opportunities to attend a professional basketball game and receive follow‑up visits to their facilities.

A department spokesperson said the game is the first step in broader engagement: staff will visit seniors at their facilities and spotlight them during the game, including on‑court recognition and camera spotlights. The department described the initiative as part of broader efforts to keep older adults active and engaged in community events.

Seniors who responded to the announcement expressed excitement about the game and the chance for a night out. The transcript did not specify how many seniors will attend, the selection criteria for participants, transportation arrangements, or the program’s recurring schedule.

The segment did not record any budget or contract commitments for the program; officials framed it as a community engagement activity between the Department of Aging and the Los Angeles Sparks.
