Perez created this event to bring awareness to gun violence as her own mother’s life was taken due to gun violence. Johanna was only 7. Her mom left behind 6 kids her being the second oldest. The game utilizes Influencers to encourage sportsmanship, physical health, and teamwork while discouraging gun violence among youth.
