The Green Bay Packers announced today that ‘Packers Family Night, presented by Bellin Health,’ will take place Saturday evening, Aug. 3. The event will benefit the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids foster care adoption program, a signature program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
The Green Bay Packers, American Heart Association and Bellin Health have teamed up to create the Play 60 Challenge - a program that challenges kids to get active and play for at least 60 minutes every day.
It doesn't matter how one moves, as long as they are active. Being physically active until you're breathing hard or sweating can have many positive effects on your body, both now and in the future. Not only will you look and feel better now, but you can reduce your risk of developing future health problems that could really slow you down.
If you aren't active now, start slowly and build up your activity. Remember, you don't have to get your 60 minutes all at once you have the option to break it up into shorter sessions that add up to 60 minutes a day. By getting up and active for 30 minutes in school and 30 minutes at home every day, you will be on your way to living a healthier life.
On Monday, February 4, 2013, ten Wisconsin Schools will be participating in a physical fitness program called the Play 60 Challenge. Each teacher will receive a teacher guide and each student will receive a game planner. Students will be encouraged to track their daily totals of physical activity on their classroom scoreboards. The top school that accumulate the most time, per total amount of students participating, will receive a trip to Lambeau Field which will include a stadium tour, Hall of Fame passes, a chance to meet a Packers player, and a $700 gift certificate from US Games. Second, third, and fourth place will receive US Game gift certificates of $600, $500, and $400 that can be redeemed for gym equipment.
