KID FIT FEST
A fun way to get more excercise.Kid Fit Fest takes many of the initiatives from our Kid Fit Program and offers them to the community at-large. These fun-filled events are hosted at local shopping centers, community centers, parks, and other public venues to raise awareness of childhood obesity. Free Body Mass Index (BMI) screenings are conducted by medical professionals and free counseling and educational resources are available to parents to help them make better health decisions for their families. The youth that participate in Kid Fit Fest learn fun ways to get more exercise by participating in the Kid Fit Challenge where they can win games and prizes that promote physical activity (jump ropes, sports equipment, kites, etc.)..
