BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Nominees, presenters and, industry top talent gathered at one of the most beautiful rooftop locations in Los Angeles to celebrate the upcoming 2018 ESPYs Awards. Followed by an evening of a celebrity poker tournament hosted by GBK Productions.

The GBK and Hemp Hydrate lounge was filled with health and wellness brands eager to enhance the attendee's lifestyle and day to day wellness. Obrigado coconut water grows, nourishes and harvests their coconuts on their own sustainable farm in Bahia, Brazil, where they have their own factory right next to the farm, turning them into all kinds of delicious coconut products for everyone to enjoy.
