Founded in 1992 as "Olympic Aid," Right To Play uses specially-designed play and sports programs to improve health, build life skills and foster peace for children and communities. The organization has turned a simple concept into a powerful platform that has enriched the lives of millions of children annually.
"Children in disadvantaged areas need extra help to ensure they have healthy childhoods," says Ahna Machan, National Director, Right To Play. "Our partnership with the makers of LISTERINE(R)* will allow more communities to participate in Red Ball Child Play programs and will make a big difference in kids' overall health."
Right To Play and the makers of LISTERINE(R)* share the common goal of promoting well being globally. They hope to raise awareness of Red Ball Child Play with the Hamm brothers, honorary Right To Play ambassadors.

* The LISTERINE(R) brand is affiliated with a Worldwide Partner of the
International Olympic Committee, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and the
Proud Partner of the U.S. Olympic Team.
