Walsh Elementary students and teachers show their excitement as part of the PALA Challenge kick-off
1WORLD Sports has partnered with the President’s Challenge program as well as Chicago Public Schools, Healthy Schools Campaign, the Chicago Park District, and IAPHERD to help encourage children and families to be physically active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As a President’s Challenge Advocate, 1WORLD Sports strives to encourage and promote daily physical fitness through their implementation of the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA) in Chicago.
The partners will engage 100 CPS schools and 10,000 participants in this effort to fight and prevent childhood obesity among Chicago’s youth. The Kick-Off Ceremony for the PALA Challenge in Chicago took place September 12th at Walsh Elementary School on Chicago’s northwest side. Walsh, the first Chicago Public School to earn federal “Gold” status from the National Healthy Schools Campaign, won hosting honors thanks to its continued commitment to fight childhood obesity in Chicago.
In support of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative to end childhood obesity within a generation, the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition is challenging Americans of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to achieve their PALA. PALA requires youth participants, ages 6-17, to engage in physical activity for 60 minutes, five days per week, for six out of eight weeks. Adults should participate in 30 minutes of physical activity for the same duration. All participants who complete the requirements will receive a PALA certificate of achievement signed by the co-chairs of the President’s Council, Drew Brees and Dominique Dawes.
