Our Annual Children~s Athletic Games & Family Fair is a day-long celebration focusing on strengthening families and promoting health and education. This yearly event is free of charge and includes a host of activities and services, such as health screenings & examinations, special needs assessments, competitive sports activities for the children, including track and field events, basketball, soccer, and much more. The children receive T-shirts, medals and awards and lunch.

In years past, our Honorary Committee has included KCAL 9's Pat Harvey and Dave Clark, the late Attorney Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr., Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, Actor-Activist Edward James Olmos, and Compton Mayor Eric Perrodin. Others have played active roles in the games, including actress Vanessa Bell Calloway, and Olympic stars Carl Lewis, Steve Lewis, and Marc Crear, who have carried the torch during the opening ceremony.
