On Thursday March 24, 300 fourth-grade students came out to play with the Lakers at the 8th Annual Lakers Fit for Life Health Fair, presented by City of Hope. It was an exciting afternoon of lessons in nutrition and fun exercise with the Laker Girls and Lakers players. The fair is the highlight of the Lakers Fit for Life initiative, which aims to educate the community and the youth about the importance of physical fitness and nutrition.
City of Hope kicked off the event with a presentation of the importance of fitness. Marisa Bowers, PHD, got the students fired up for the day, while discussing the how to live a healthy lifestyle.
