The Skinner Family
Oprah Winfrey Boys and Girls Club Families Get Moving with a Night of Fitness
Families also Send One of Their Own to National Fitness Event Finale in Los Angeles
Local Boys & Girls Club families spent the evening of Nov. 7, 2011 focusing on the fitness of their minds, bodies, and souls here at The Oprah Winfrey Boys and Girls Club of Kosciusko/Attala County’s Triple Play Family Fitness Night. The Triple Play program, supported by founding sponsor Coca-Cola and the WellPoint Foundation, encourages kids to eat a balanced diet, become more physically active and increase their ability to engage in healthy relationships. Attendees rotated as a family through Mind, Body and Soul stations at the event, which included physical activities, board games and a healthy meal.
The evening also served as a sendoff for the OWBGC’s Skinner Family, who was one of five families in Boys & Girls Clubs of Americas 2nd annual Triple Play Fit Family Challenge. The Challenge Finale was November 17th in Los Angeles where the winning family received the title of the "2011 Triple Play Fit Family” and won an active vacation to Colorado Springs to visit the U.S. Olympic Training Facility in 2012. During the six-week challenge, the five families were being coached by three well known health advocates. Mario Lopez, Boys & Girls Club alum and host of the nationally syndicated daily show EXTRA; Dr. Val Jones, CEO of Better Health, LLC, a medical blogger network and education company; and Donna Richardson Joyner, fitness expert with experience helping faith and communities live healthier lifestyles.
The Oprah Winfrey Boys and Girls Club of Kosciusko/Attala County would like to remind everyone that we have Family Fitness Fun here at the club every Monday night @ 7:00 p.m. free of charge. We invite you come out and enjoy fitness with family and friends. We hope to see you there!!!
