Get Fit with the Grizzlies Tip-Off - 2008
Grizzlies players Mike Conley, Hakim Warrick and Darrell Arthur proved that the Grizzlies are committed to helping kids learn the importance of physical fitness at this season’s Get Fit with the Grizzlies Tip-Off event at Williams Herbert Brewster Elementary School. The Grizzlies trio had just finished a three hour practice after flying in that night from their season opener in Houston, but that didn’t stop them from spreading the word to the students about the importance of physical fitness.
The Get Fit Tip-Off event, which was sponsored by the Memphis Heart Clinic and Cargill, saw the Grizzlies players on hand, along with the Grizz Girls, lead students in various activities to promote physical fitness. Conley, Warrick and Arthur even captained relays teams that saw Arthur’s team come away with a victory. After all the physical activities were finished students had the chance to ask Conley, Warrick and Arthur what they did to stay healthy on an everyday basis.
The Get Fit Tip-Off marked the start of a four week challenge where fourth and fifth graders in area schools track what they eat and the amount of exercise they get in order to live healthier lives.
