The Showdown is hosted annually by The Steve Nash Foundation at NYC's Sarah D. Roosevelt Park.

WAT-AAH! will be one of this year's sponsors along with Major League Soccer (MLS), Adidas, others, providing beverages and fun merchandise for all of the events both on and off the field, including the Showdown After Hours Party at Penny Farthings.
Founded by Rose Cameron in 2008, WAT-AAH!'s mission is to reverse kids' dependency on sodas and sugary drinks and to make water their #1 beverage choice by making it contemporary and relevant to kids. The brand has been successfully marketing this premise, while benefiting children, through health and educational programs, sports and music, events and sponsorship including major partnerships with Beyonce Knowles and Michelle Obama's Let's Move! Move Your Body initiative, Nick Cannon and Celebrity High Magazine's Take Action Event benefiting L.A. Unified School District, Willow Smith Benefit Concert for Toys For Tots, and a soon to be announced initiative with New Orleans Saints' Marques Colston benefiting AMIKids, are just a few among the many.
