Los Angeles Avengers News Release
LOS ANGELES - "A-Team" dancers Shea and Tiffany on Tuesday, March 28, visited Washington Middle School and Madison Elementary School in Pasadena. The school visits were to promote the California Department of Health Services and the Fitness Challenge Foundation for National Public Health Week (April 3-9) event that will rally Californians to build healthier communities, eat healthy and be physically active to reduce childhood obesity.
The "A-Team" dancers took part in a physical activity demonstration, talked about the importance of being healthy and signed autographs.
"Physical fitness and proper nutrition is the key to healthy minds and bodies," Tiffany said. "I'm looking forward to seeing all these children and their families at the Rose Bowl."
Approximately 10,000 children will participate in the Kids Fitness Challenge, one of the largest kids-focused, non-competitive 5K events in State history, on April 8 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Several top State and local officials will join NFL Legend Jerry Rice, Olympic athletes, Ryan Benson (winner of NBC's The Biggest Loser) and emcee Colleen Williams to encourage and lead participants. This event will kick off Kids Fitness Challenge events in other cities across the country.
Physical inactivity and poor nutrition are one of the major public health challenges facing California and the rest of the nation. California is currently experiencing an obesity epidemic with one-third of 9- to 11-year-old children at risk for or already overweight and more than 73 percent of youth unfit.
