SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

The Sacramento Kings celebrated the start of their 24th season of community service with the "Eat Like a King" gala at the Golden 1 Center, where local children enjoyed a meal and activities with the team.

Kids from local nonprofits were invited for a full meal, served by Sacramento Kings players. After they ate, they had a chance to meet the players, as well as participate in a number of activities.

One of Sacramento's newest players, Maxime Raynaud, said joining the festivities was a privilege.

"Your role is more than just being a basketball player, you're an ambassador for whatever is going on today," Reynaud said. "It's a privilege to be doing this."

Each child in attendance also received a Sacramento Kings lunch pail and a special keepsake.
