ING Run For Something BETTER
ING Run For Something Better helps fund free running
and fitness education programs in schools to show kids
how exercise can help achieve good health and avoid the
risks of childhood obesity.
Any contribution large or small will help make a positive
impact on the lives of children in the Georgia area. For
your gift of $10 or more you will receive a pair of our
signature orange laces in appreciation of your support
in the fight against childhood obesity.
This is especially important as on average physical
education programs are only funded $1.87 per
student annually as reported by the National
Association of Physical Education (NASPE),
but you can help do something about this.
