The 4th Annual Champions for Choice in Education
Pre-Espy’s Event was a star studded event held on July 13, 2015 in Downtown Los
Angeles. Hosted on the Rooftop of the Luxe Hotel athletes and celebrities came
together to celebrate the success of the Champions for Choice in Education
organization that aids children in attending private or public schools no
matter what zip code they are located in.
The event honored Actress/Philanthropist
Holly Robinson Peete and former Quarterback Rodney Peete/Sports Analyst for
their effortless work for kids for the HollyRod foundation and former NBA
star/ESPN sports analyst Jalen Rose for his Jalen Rose Leadership Academy.
The night began with an amazing red carpet featuring WNBA
Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie, 4 time NBA Champion John Salley, Kaitlin Doubleday
(from Empire), Garcelle Beauvais (Actress) , and many more.
Eurweb’s own Jimmy
V was able to speak with some of the celebrities and find out why they support
Champions for Choice and what information they could share with the upcoming
generation.
“I think giving a child a choice to get to the right school,
to get to the right programs is everything” is what Garcelle Beauvais expressed
on the red carpet speaking on the topic of education. Many celebrities and
athletes shared that education is an important aspect in becoming successful in
life. When asked about chasing a passion Beauvais shares to “stay true to
yourself, learn the craft, be proud of what you do, and be prepared for when
the opportunity comes.”
Lisa Leslie shared a few words on why she teamed up with
American Confederation for Children. She expressed “a lot of parents can’t
afford to pack up and leave so what about all those children we leave behind?”
She hopes one day all parents will have the opportunity to choose whether
public, private, or home schooling is best for their children whether or not
the school is within their reach financially or not.
