omePlayDetroit (CPD)
finished 2012 with its
largest event EVER! On
Saturday, Dec. 22, CPD
hosted the Detroit Lions halftime show.
The game was nationally
televised on ESPN as its
weekly Monday Night
Football game. The event
showcased the partnership
between Playworks, a
national nonprofit that
brings recess back to the
school in order to fight
childhood obesity, and
the Detroit Lions and their
Play60 initiative, which
encourages kids to be active
for 60 minutes a day. In front of more
than 60,000 fans in attendance — and
the millions on TV — more than 400
kids, 10-13 years old, participated in
jumprope, hula hoops and a game of
tag that utilized the entire football field.
We'd like to say thank you to the 60+
volunteers who helped make the event a
huge success.
Welcome 2013
ComePlayDetroit is kicking off 2013
with a bang!
On Tuesday, Jan. 22, CPD hosted
our first co-ed broomball league at
Campus Martius in Downtown Detroit
presented by Quicken Loans and
Honigman.
Broomball is like floor hockey —
but on the ice. Players try to run
around in shoes, not skates,
trying to score goals against
each other. The combination
makes for a lot of fun.
There are teams from
Quicken Loans, Honigman,
Deloitte, Detroit Venture
Partners, University of
Detroit Dental School,
Wayne State Law School,
Challenge Detroit and
others.
On Monday, Feb. 4,
ComePlayDetroit is officially opening the
