Donate to Project Fit America

Giving Tuesday is a national event with over 6,000 non-profit organizations participating! Project Fit America is proud to align with this movement and promote the spirit of giving that is the true magic of the holiday season whose gifts impact all year long!  This is an official call for donations on November 30th..…following Black Friday and Cyber Monday and we hope you will support us!

It is our mission to get kids fit. Our greatest competition is that of getting the kids’ attention! We compete with video and computer games and all the things kids do online that they really like!! They have LEARNED to be sedentary….it is against a child’s true nature which is to run, be active and play.

When a PE Teacher hits the gym or the playground they have to bring “game” because kids today do not know how to find their “fitness selves.” That is what we are all about….empowering the PE Teacher. Way too many kids get their ONLY exposure to physical activity through their PE Teacher. They are the “flashpoint” to help kids discover their true nature…and when that happens it is magic. There is absolutely NO stopping the kids now! We are boots on the ground and see this happening from coast to coast. It is inspiring!

Our vital grassroots approach to broad-based fitness gives the tools to schools to make this love of movement come to life for their students. Since we started this initiative over 30 years ago 500,000 kids have been impacted in over 300 cities in 46 states. We donate fitness programs that assure every child will find something they are very good at. We create the opportunity for all kids, not just the already gifted athletes, to discover, explore, improve, and be recognized for their physical, mental, and fitness efforts/performance.

Our focus is on schools exclusively because over 61% of kids get no physical activity outside the school day. We have the marvelous opportunity to create a culture of fitness in education vs. sedentary education.

Children are not a set of statistics. Every child deserves to grow up active, fit, and healthy.

Our top 6 reasons for a call to action!

  1. A child’s school environment has been shown to play a predominant role in pediatric obesity.
  2. Cardiovascular activity helps oxygenate the brain and prime students for better learning = Active kids are better learners.
  3. The DNA in every cell of your body is programmed to respond to movement.
  4. To empower “the kid in the mirror” …that YOU are the #1 person in charge of your fitness and to Go for it!
  5. Because every kid needs to learn about the 4 bad S’s… Sugar, salt, soda, sedentary.
  6. Because kids are beautiful “fitness snowflakes” each with their own unique ability to create a healthy body/healthy life for themselves.

We wish you fun, fit holidays, and remember, passion has zero calories and goes with everything. We hope you will support our mission to bring Fitness in Education to kids and schools across the nation.
