Special demonstrations and activities allowed guests to challenge athletes to basketball, football, soccer and boxing; batting cages, speed pitch, miniature golf, sumo wrestling, a Velcro wall and rock climbing were also offered.
Attendees at the event included Apatow’s actress wife Leslie Mann, Nick Cannon, Chad Michael
Murray, LA Clipper Matt Barnes, Former UFC Light-Heavyweight Champ Tito Ortiz, LA Dodger Kenley
Jansen, Former Pro Baseball Player Jose Conesco, Olympic Silver Medalist for Hurdles Lashinda Demus,
