Fuel Up Play 60 Sponsored by Jilbert Dairy in Marquette’s Superior Dome a Big Success!

Marquette, Michigan – May 17, 2014 – Celebrities, kids, and fans alike showed up to the Superior Dome Saturday morning to attend the Fuel UP Play 60 sponsored by Jilbert Dairy.  The event centered around teaching kids how to live a healthy lifestyle.  What to eat, how to fuel your body properly, and (most importantly) how to be active.

Former NFL players were in attendance such as Tony Fisher, former Green Bay Packer & Mr. Football – Ohio, along with Luther Elliss, a former defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions.  Some local celebrities were there too, like Winter Olympian Snowboarder Nick Baumgartner and reigning Dairy Queen Chelsie Kronemeyer of Pickford!

The event was organized by Gordon Mielke, who said he was “very proud” of all the work that went into the day.  He was very excited to have such an array of high profile people come out to support this great cause.  With healthy snacks, drinks (MILK!), and activities, it truly was a great way to spend a Saturday in the Marquette.

We’d like to thank all of our fellow sponsors for this event:  UDIM, Tadych’s Econo Foods, Honor Credit Union, SIR Federal Credit Union, The Screened Image, Care Clinic of Marquette, the NFL and of course Jilbert Dairy!
