Starfruit Cafe to Host Meet & Greet With Team Canada Hockey Gold Medalist Brent Seabrook
2010 Olympic Gold Medal Defenseman to Meet Fans, Show off his Medal and Sign Autographs; All Fans Can Register to Win a Free Pair of Pro Hockey Tickets, Plus Enjoy a Free Small Frozen Kefir
MORTON GROVE, Ill., March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chicagoland hockey fans are in for a real treat this Saturday when 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist and Chicago hockey star Brent Seabrook stops by the Lincoln Park Starfruit Cafe to visit with fans, sign autographs and show off his medal.
The meet and greet runs 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, March 6 at the Starfruit Cafe location on 2142 N. Halstead Street in Lincoln Park. Everyone who stops in will receive a free sample of frozen Kefir and can register to win a free pair of tickets to a professional hockey game.
"We are so excited that Brent has made us one of his first stops on the heels of his Olympic debut," said Julie Smolyansky, President and CEO of Lifeway Foods, which owns the Starfruit Cafe franchise brand. "He's definitely one of the hottest young stars on the ice, and area hockey fans will get a chance to congratulate him face-to-face on his Olympic success."
Seabrook represented his home country of Canada in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The 24-year-old defenseman has scored more than 370 goals in his professional hockey career.
Starfruit Cafe features a galaxy of low fat smoothies, frozen treats and parfaits that are not only delicious, but also exceptionally nutritious. Made from frozen Lifeway Kefir, a creamy probiotic-rich milk smoothie, Starfruit treats pack the health-boosting power of 10 live probiotic cultures into a single serving - typical frozen yogurt contains just two or three. Cafe customers can build their own frozen treats with flavored frozen Kefir, piles of fresh fruit, granola, chocolate chips, gummy bears and many other topics.
"This is a great chance for anyone who hasn't tried a Starfruit treat to come out for a free sample and meet a local Olympian," Smolyansky said.
