Students to ‘play it forward’ Adrian, Michigan-

About 1,400 students in the fifth through eighth grades from both Adrian middle schools and Lenawee Christian School will showcase exercises similar to those used by pro athletes at the Adrian Freedom Festival in May.

“We literally prove to every child they’re an athlete,” said Gary Gray, chief executive officer of the Gray Institute.

Free2Play encourages students to believe they are athletes, commit to healthier lifestyles, respect the abilities of others and use their commitment to improve their own fitness and health to raise money to help other children who… are enslaved, according to an overview of the program.

Local funds raised will be directed to the Toledo Children’s Hospital, local public schools’ homeless education programs and the Not for Sale Campaign… working to help free an estimated 27 million people who are enslaved throughout the world, including an estimated 200,000 people in the United States.
