Monkey Knife Fight Donates $100,000 To LA Kings Care Foundation

Monkey Knife Fight, the third-largest fantasy sports platform in North America, announced today an exciting step in its multi-year strategic partnership with the LA Kings. MKF will donate $1,000 to the Kings Care Foundation for every goal the team scores this season, for a minimum of $100,000. The sum will be split in the areas it will go toward. Half will support COVID-19 relief in the Los Angeles community, and the other half will go to mental health and wellness initiatives in the state.

In addition, as announced in July 2020 as part of a strategic partnership with AEG, the MKF logo has been inlaid in the corner of the ice at the STAPLES Center for the 2021 season. 

Through the relationship with the LA Kings' parent company, AEG Worldwide, MKF became the exclusive fantasy sports partner of the LA Kings in July 2020. The ice was laid in December in preparation for the Kings' home opener on Jan. 14. 

"We're extremely proud to be a part of the LA Kings family," Bill Asher, Founder and CEO of Monkey Knife Fight. "We're even prouder that the team will be sporting the logo for the California Hope Crisis Counseling Program on their helmets this season in support of mental health services for Californians. Mental health support and aid to those severely impacted by the pandemic is much needed in 2021, and we want to be part of that."

The Kings open the season at home on Jan 14, and Jan 16 as the club hosts the Minnesota Wild at STAPLES Center. The opening four-game homestand continues on Jan 19 and Jan 21, with a two-game set against the Colorado Avalanche.
