Our Nonprofit: Fitness Pros for Fit
Kids
FitnessPros for Fit Kids is a
non-profit organization dedicated to helping children
incorporate healthy habits into their lives.
Our Mission:
Through
educational and instructional programs, we seek to help
children establish a nutritious diet and regular exercise as
habits for the rest of their lives. We believe that while
improving children’s health, these habits can also develop
strong character traits such as commitment, determination, and
integrity.
We also recognize the need to:
- Work with parents, teachers, and schools as a means to
ensure the success of our children’s' programs
- Be informed and active regarding legislation that
affects children’s health issues
| How YOU Can
Make a Difference |
|
Here are several ways for you
to help now:
- Lead a fundraiser where all or part of the profits are
donated to Fitness Pros for Fit Kids. Contact us for ideas.
- Support our mission! Everyone can support our efforts in
the following ways:
- Be a role model – Exercise regularly and eat a
nutritious diet of whole foods! Encourage kids to do the
same!
- Create a culture where eating healthy isn’t seen as
tasteless, a form of punishment, or something to be
dreaded; eating processed foods and drinking sugar-filled
soft drinks should be the exception rather than the
norm
- Work with your school to eliminate junk food and limit
the use of food (especially candy) as rewards for behavior
or performance
- Be informed regarding the profit-driven processed food
industry.
- Support legislation that supports efforts to improve
kids health, such as mandatory highly-visible nutritional
labeling for chain restaurants and eliminating marketing
to
kids
