The new mascot for the Santa Cruz Warriors is scheduled to appear 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Friday Dec. 21 at the Second Harvest Food Bank location at Capitola Mall, a food bank spokesman said Thursday.
Mav'Riks the Sea Turtle was recently chosen in a contest to represent the NBA Development League team.
Individuals who make a $5 donation will get a chance to win two pairs of Santa Cruz Warriors tickets, according to Steve Bennett, development director for Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County.
In addition, anyone who makes a $5 donation online gets a chance to win a Grind Out Hunger skateboard deck autographed by musician Chris Rene, Bennett said. To donate online visit www.thefoodbank.org/santacruzwarriors.
Mav'Riks is sponsored by locally owned 7-Eleven stores, Bennett said.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County, based in Watsonville, is billed as a nonprofit providing food to 55,000 clients per month.
