Troy seventh grader Marissa Orzame and Detroit Lions superstar quarterback Matthew Stafford are about to become acquainted. Marissa edged out strong competition to become the winner of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's second annual "Make the Play for Healthy Habits" video contest.

Video entries were submitted from school children throughout the state, each detailing a student's ideas for making Michigan a healthier place. Matthew Stafford will visit more than 700 students from Boulan Park Middle School in celebration of Marissa's accomplishment. Stafford will talk to students about daily healthy living activities, such as walking or biking to school, playing outside, etc. He will spend the afternoon answering questions asked by contest winner Marissa.
