The Hall of Game Awards, the first sports and entertainment awards show for kids, will be hosted by skateboarding champ Tony Hawk, and will be aired on February 25, Friday at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Turner's Animation President/COO Stuart Snyder said, "Along with honoring the nominees and winners of Cartoon Network's Hall of Game Awards, Mrs. Obama is participating so that she can personally acknowledge some other winners who definitely have game."

"She will announce a set of winning schools that are playing a big role in reducing childhood obesity in their community. This special recognition goes hand in hand with our Move It movement, created in partnership with the National association for Sport and Physical education's 'Let's Move! In Schools,' empowering youth 6-13 to get more active in order to experience healthier lifestyles."

Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move!" initiative celebrated its first year on February 9th.
