What does your kid have in common with pro athletes?
At Operation MOVE, part of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative, your child will hear from pro athletes, team mascots, local celebrities and community leaders, the importance of exercise and nutrition. It’s a one-day workshop of fitness and fun.
Your child may also choose to participate in Basic Training, a 6-week program that encourages kids to develop healthy eating, exercise and lifestyle habits.
The best way to combat childhood obesity is to keep our kids moving. It might be surprising, but simple activities like family walks, along with healthy food and the right outlook, can be enough to keep our kids fit.
Greg Jennings of the Green Bay Packers will be one of many local celebrities and sports heroes at Operation MOVE this year. Also a portion of the funds raised through ticket sales at Operation MOVE will benefit United Way and the agency partners they serve.
