WHAT IS IT?
The Olympix is adult field day initiative put together to unite New York City socialites and tastemakers for a good cause. It is a charity event that was started in 2021 by my good friend, Frasier Gabriel. I played a role in assisting with conceptualizing the event, and since have actively played a part in production and marketing. Each year the event has grown in participants, sponsorships, and overall notoriety in the greater NYC area.
In 2023 we had up to 12 teams which included 5-6 players each. Games consist of relay races, tug of war, dodgeball and flip cup. In typical “Olympics” fashion, winners are awarded in the tiers of Gold, Bronze, and Silver medals.
