Derrick Rose and Venus Williams faced off in a basketball and tennis match. It was all in good fun of course and for the kids. Powerade has created a new drink for kids, PLAY. It has less sugar and more vitamins than many other leading sports drinks. With kids drinking juice boxes and full blown sports drinks I think this is a great alternative. I tried it out and I loved it. It even got approval from all of the kids there too! After all, this event was for them.
Derrick Rose and Venus Williams played each other in a game of PLAY (horse, but with the word play:) and a tennis match. The kids enjoyed it so much. They listened to Derrick and Venus speak about fitness and how its important for everyone. Then all the kids got a close up view of Derrick and Venus playing a friendly match of their professional sport. It's not very often kids get the chance to say they were able to see some of their role models that close. Some of the kids even played basketball and tennis with them. It was truly an experience to see two phenomenal athletes of our time play against each other.
I was impressed with all the activities that were available for the kids to play until the athletes showed up. And I was equally proud and impressed with the athletes. They took pictures with the kids, gave them high fives and even stayed after to sign some autographs and take pictures. I had hoped to meet Venus, but unfortunately did not get the chance. I think her and her sister are two strong, stylish and successful women. More importantly, I love when I see people giving back to the community. Each athlete made these kids' day.
It was a great day for kids to see how fitness and sports are fun and important. And it was all due to Powerade-PLAY, Derrick Rose and Venus Williams. Check out the pictures below and to find out who won!

Have a fun and fit day, Chicago.
