Kids in The Kitchen
April 2, 2011 at Children's Medical Center Legacy in Plano, Texas
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
ALL ARE WELCOME....
Kids in The Kitchen is a national initiative of the Association of Junior Leagues International. Developed in 2006 to address the growing issue of childhood obesity and poor nutrition, Kids in The Kitchen is designed to educate and connect youth and their families with tools to improve fitness, nutrition and family lifestyle. More than nine million children between the ages of six and nine are overweight, a number which has tripled over the last 20 years. The statistics are alarming, but true.
By providing fun, family oriented solutions to healthy living, kids and youth are encouraged to be active participants in their own health and well-being.
Each year, the Junior League of Plano's Kids in The Kitchen hosts a spring community event with their co-sponsor, Children's Medical Center Legacy. This FREE EVENT includes a fun walk, cooking demonstrations, performances and physical activity breaks, as well as booths filled with resources and information about healthy eating and getting active (provided by health and wellness experts). They also partner with other community organizations and projects, including Big Brothers Big Sisters and CITY House, to offer education cooking demonstrations.
Hope to see you all there, you can find me at the event all around. I will be signing autographs at the American Heart Association Booth.
Kelli!
