5/14: Anna Kournikova promotes kid fitness for Cartoon Network

May 14, 2009

Former tennis star Anna Kournikova, now more famous for being famous, came to Hyatt Regency in Atlanta for the Boys & Girls Club's national conference. The 27-year-old beauty, who lives in Miami, was in town as a Boys & Girls Club spokeswoman and also to promote Cartoon Network's "Get Animated" campaign, which encourages kids to (ironically) get off from the couch and go exercise.

She played Four Square, a playground game, with some kids from a local Boys & Girls club.
