AUDEMARS PIGUET Genève "Royal Oak Offshore", No. 417. Donated by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Audemars Piguet Notes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver The Inner City Games (ICG) was formed in response to the growing number of young people across the nation living in poverty and facing the negative influences surrounding them in the ghettos and barrios. The Inner City Games began in Los Angeles in 1991 when Arnold Schwarzenegger joined forces with Danny Hernandez, Director of East LA's Hollenbeck Youth Center. Creating the Inner City Games Foundation (ICGF) in 1995 and serving as its Chairman, Arnold Schwarzenegger expanded the program to other U.S. cities. In just four years, the Inner City Games has spread to 12 major U.S. cities and is serving over half a million young Americans. Recognizing that the significant majority of drug use, youth violence and teen pregnancies occur during the summer and after school, between 2 and 7pm, the Inner City Games is committed to providing a positive vehicle for our kids during these "critical hours". The Inner City Games offers a wide variety of sports clinics and competitions, from the traditional baseball, basketball, track, soccer and swimming, to less traditional sports like horseback riding, tennis, golf and martial arts. Involving young people in sports clinics and competitions teaches valuable life lessons, brings young people from different cultures together on an equal playing field and teaches our kids about teamwork,
