Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs News Release
BOSSIER CITY, LA - The Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana are teaming up to help school kids in Bossier Parish stay fit and healthy as part of the Louisiana 2 Step program. The Mudbugs are helping BCBS spread the word about eating right and moving more to kindergartners throughout Bossier Parish.
The Mudbugs and Blue Cross Blue Shield have put together activity kits that will be delivered on Wednesday to every Kindergartner in Bossier Parish! Each of the 1,656 activity kits includes a jump rope, activity book, health tips and a voucher for one kids' ticket to a Mudbugs home game this season.
"We'd like to thank BCBSLA and the Bossier Parish School Board for their cooperation in developing this program," said Mudbugs President & General Manager Ray Delia. "It has been our privilege to team with BCBSLA to create a fun, participatory program for kids in order to boost activity levels and make a jump toward more healthy habits!"
Mudbugs players and staff members, including Delia and Head Coach Scott Muscutt, will be taking part in the deliveries at two Bossier Parish elementary schools on Wednesday. Starting at 9:30 that morning, the âBugs will be at T.L. Rodes Elementary School in Haughton, followed by an afternoon appearance at Stockwell Place Elementary in Bossier City at 1:00 pm.
The Louisiana 2 Step is a fun, free, motivational program that teaches people 2 simple steps to better health: eat right and move more.
"Through our interactive website www.Louisiana2step.com, you can access tools and information to help you get healthy and stay healthy," said Bonnie Martin, Manager of Office Administration for BCBSLA. "We at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana want to do everything we can to make Louisianians as healthy as possible. By supplying residents with health knowledge, we can help reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases, increase the state's health rankings, and bring down the long-term cost of healthcare."
The Mudbugs are at home tonight to renew their rivalry with the Laredo Bucks at 7:05 pm at the CenturyTel Center. Tonight's game is the final regular season meeting between the Mudbugs and the Bucks, and a win tonight puts the âBugs back into a tie for first place in the Northeast Division. Individual tickets for the game are available through Ticketmaster at 318-741-9700, while group and flex ticket packages are on sale through the Mudbugs office at 318-752-BUGS.
