In the last 10 years, West Virginia has been ranked in the top five for childhood obesity.
Get Moving! dares to change these statistics by teaching children about health and wellness all while encouraging them to stay active and have fun.
During the event, children can participate in a variety of activity stations, led by local athletes and special guests. Families in attendance can visit with special guests such as former and current athletes.
At the conclusion of the event, children will be sent home with goodie bags of healthy snacks, free information, and a T-shirt.
Register for this free event on the Get Moving! Inc. website at getmovingwv.org. Reserve your spot quickly, before tickets run out.
Get Moving! Inc was established in 2014 in West Virginia due to the high rankings of childhood obesity. Since the organization’s start, it has strived to encourage current and former professional athletes to teach and inform these children about healthy living.
