June is our month for celebrating sports and their relationship to the principals of sustainability as we build up to our live event, “Sports and Sustainability," on Thursday, June 23. So this week, we profiled one of guests who will be part of our sports panel on the 23, and that is Jack Groh, Director of the National Football League's Environmental Program. With over two decades of leading the NFL’s initiatives and programs relating to sustainability, Jack has amassed a tremendous amount of experience when it comes to showcasing the positive returns when it comes to being eco-smart, and social responsible.

X Games Gold Medalist to Explain
Extreme Sustainability on Thursday, June 23
When you think "extreme sports," do you think of sustainability? Well if you don't, one of the greatest stars of extreme sports is going to tell you why you should.
Kevin Robinson, professional BMX rider and 5 time X Games Gold Medalist understands his sports has provided him with the opportunity to give back. In May of 2010, Kevin started the K-Rob Foundation with the mission to positively transform the lives of deserving children in the East Bay and surrounding communities. Helping one family at a time, the K-Rob Foundation provides financial assistance to get kids involved with athletics as a means for them to learn discipline, focus, teamwork and healthy living habits.
Participating in athletics as a child played a pivotal role in Kevin's path to success and he is dedicated to helping share that with others in helping the next generation become aware of social responsibility, the environment, and giving back.
