The event, which was presented by Yahoo! Sports, was held at the Sports Museum of Los Angeles and was heavily attended by various athletes.
After Apatow received his Children’s Choice award from producer pal J.J. Abrams, guests were able to mingle with some of the biggest names in professional, Olympic and extreme sports at the day-long fundraiser.
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,
