Dear UCLA Alumni and Friends,


UCLA is deeply saddened by the death of Coach John Wooden on June 4. In Chancellor
Gene Block's message to the UCLA community that day, he mentioned that a public
memorial was being planned to honor Coach.


At this time, we share with you the details of the memorial service. On Saturday,
June 26, beginning at 11 a.m. in Pauley Pavilion, UCLA will host a public memorial
service on behalf of the Wooden family to celebrate the life of Coach John Wooden.


Bruins around the world have expressed interest in attending the memorial or
gathering informally with fellow Bruins to remember Coach. The memorial service,
expected to last 90 minutes, will be broadcast live by Fox's Prime Ticket (serving
Southern and Central California, Southern Nevada and Hawaii) and may be distributed
on other networks. In addition, the service will be streamed live online at
http://www.UCLAlumni.net/UCLAHome?email=K6FO.


Approximately 6,000 seats in Pauley Pavilion's middle and upper levels will be
available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. The doors to Pauley
Pavilion will open at 9 a.m. Per University policy, no overnight camping will be
allowed and anyone on campus prior to 5 a.m. will be asked to leave. Attendees will
enter through the Intramural Field from the east at Wilson Plaza between the John
Wooden Center and the North Athletic Field.


For those not admitted to Pauley Pavilion, the service will be shown outdoors live
on two video boards in Drake Stadium.


Updates and further details about the memorial service may be found through the
Coach Wooden links on the UCLA Alumni homepage at

Thank you for helping honor the legacy of Coach Wooden.
