Dozens of parents held a rally and news conference over the weekend outside of the Intuit Dome - the team's new home in Inglewood starting next NBA season.

They are asking Clippers owner Steve Ballmer to make a donation to prevent the city from closing a number of schools.

In March, the Inglewood Unified School District announced four elementary schools and one high school would close due to lack of money and declining enrollment.
