    SF Intl Childrens Games

    On July 3rd I was attending a kick-off event in Palo Alto for the International Children’s Games held in San Francisco. This is the 42nd time this event has been held, but only the second time in the United States. I was fortunate to meet with Brad Solso, the CEO and Scott McRoberts, the COO of the event. Both of these men were very dedicated and passionate about the games which will run this weekend in SF and have over 1200 youth participants from 6 continents. If you have some free time, I encourage you to attend this wonderful event. I included one of their advertising photos because I think it really does a nice job of capturing the passion and commitment youth athletes have for the sports they play.

    • The host was Pejman Nozad, a founding member of Amidzad Partners. He had arranged for a meet and greet with Brandi Chastain and other local supporters of the event at Medallion Rug Company on University Avenue in Palo Alto. It was a fun event with Brandi signing autographs for people while a group of adults and kids played soccer on fine rugs in the store (haven’t seen that before). It was clear watching Brandi in action that a key to the success of the WPS will be making sure all the players in the league take the time and make the effort to connect with their fans and supporters. Brandi and I had a nice chat and agreed to meet in the next couple of weeks to discuss her involvement in the team.

    After the event, I went home to my kids and prepared for a fun 4th of July weekend. We are fortunate to have a local parade in Piedmont and our street hosts a block party, so the celebration went on until midnight. After the relaxing weekend, we are back on the hunt for our lead investor. More news to come.
