On Sunday, July 11th, LivePlanet of Project Greenlight fame (a production company founded by Chris Moore, Sean Bailey, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon) sponsored the 1st Annual Hollywood Shootout at UCLA's famed Pauley Pavilion. Modeled after the successful Silicon Valley Shootout in Northern California, twenty teams came together to play basketball in a 3-on-3 tournament to benefit Positive Coaching Alliance.
PCA's next Silicon Valley Shootout is Sunday, September 12th. This event will be held at Stanford University.
