Other sponsors of the event are the Russian American Foundation, Rheem Bell & Mermelstein, LLP, and Jacob & Co.
The event includes Russian music to be played during the game. Also, the Nets and the Russian American Foundation are holding auditions for all Russian-speaking youth, ages 12 to 20, to perform the U.S. National Anthem at the game.
The auditions are, appropriately enough, at Tatiana Restaurant at 3152 Brighton 6th St. in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn on Monday. In December, the Nets launched www.netsrussia.com, a Russian-language Web site.
