Coral Gables, FL – Del Monte Fresh Produce was a proud supporter of the NBA/WNBA FIT Meet & Greet with HEAT Head Coach and NBA Fit Team Member Erik Spoelstra.
On Monday, January 30th, 2012, Coach Spoelstra met with over 50 children from the YMCA of Greater Miami as part of the NBA FIT Live Healthy Week (January 25 – February 2) which highlights the importance of living an active, healthy lifestyle through grassroots programs and events, special on-court apparel, in-arena health screenings, and online programming.
Del Monte Fresh Produce’s Senior Vice President of North America Sales, Marketing & Product Management, Emanuel Lazopoulos, gave the children and their families “Del Monte Fresh Fit” gift bags stocked with fresh fruit, a jump rope, stickers, a sports bottle, a fruit and vegetable activity book and other items.
After the Meet & Greet, the children enjoyed the New Orleans Hornets vs. HEAT game courtesy of the “Spo’s Shooters” program, a community education ticket initiative that allows South Florida’s less fortunate student-athletes to attend HEAT games and meet their favorite players and coaches.
