LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. - The Gwinnett Braves are proud to announce the recipient of their April "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" themed grant, i.DEAL Inc. of Grayson, GA. The organization, famous for their "Cinderella's Closet" program, will utilize the $1,000 grant to start up their brand new "Keep Moving Project" aimed at halting teenage obesity.

i.DEAL Inc.'s "Keep Moving Project" exemplifies the "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" theme for April, promoting youth athletics or activities. The project came about as a response to the growing concern of teen obesity in the state of Georgia and the nation as a whole. The aim is to introduce simple lifestyle changes for a more healthy and fit body. i.DEAL, Inc. has already teamed up with the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta in the past at its Lawrenceville, GA location to start the project, giving teens a space to begin exercising. The project will continue this fall with fitness and nutrition classes.

The $1,000 grant will be directly applied to the "Keep Moving Project," assisting in the purchase of portable fitness equipment, healthy snacks and raw food products for cooking classes, advertisement to promote the program in the community and more.

"We are proud, honored and extremely grateful to receive this grant from the Gwinnett Braves," said Germaine Leroux, founder and president of i.DEAL, Inc. "We look forward to great success with the 'Keep Moving Project' and are always looking for dedicated volunteers and sponsors. We are excited about an on-going partnership with the G-Braves in improving teen health."

As the recipient of the April grant, i.DEAL, Inc. and the "Keep Moving Project" will be recognized at Coolray Field on Sunday, July 8 prior to the Gwinnett Braves' 5:05 PM game against Durham.
