ABOUT US
Mission
"To combat and prevent childhood obesity and diabetes."
The mission of Kids Get Fit is to promote healthy lifestyles for children and families whose health may be at-risk through exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness.
Vision
Kids Get Fit will be widely recognized as a primary influence for promoting healthy lifestyles for youth at the local, state, and national levels. The outstanding programs, facilities, and research associated with Kids Get Fit will make the organization a significant and credible resource for improving health outcomes for young people and their families.
Schools, youth-serving organizations, and funding partners in the local area and beyond will actively seek partnerships with Kids Get Fit as a result of the organization’s outstanding reputation and recognized brand. Programs will be of such high quality and integrity that they will be replicated in many locations, such as well-equipped Kids Get Fit facilities, public and private schools, and other youth-oriented sites where Kids Get Fit has established a strong following.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of youth will be positively influenced by Kids Get Fit, and the effectiveness of the innovative programming provided by the organization will be well-documented in published research. As a result, Kids Get Fit will be generously supported through a diversified donor base and highly successful fundraising efforts.
A BIT MORE
Kids Get Fit is a community-based program based in Corpus Christi, Texas, with a mission to promote a healthier lifestyle for at-risk children and their families.
The prevalence of childhood obesity is rising alarmingly, and this is a national issue. Currently, the percentage of obese children in Texas is about 34.4%. Due to this epidemic, children face various risks such as diabetes, heart disease, and strokes.
The Program Provides:
- Inspiring running events
- Fitness Activities
- Hands-on Training with exercise & nutrition with certified experts
We have been approved as a 501(c)(3) so we can expand our ability to help improve lives in our community. We are grateful for the support the community has expressed to date and feel confident that approval of our tax exempt status will help us expand the programs to truly make a difference in the coastal bend fight for healthy lifestyles. All proceeds will be reinvested in programs that provide tangible improvement in the physical and mental health of our participants.
We are currently working on several opportunities that we hope to be able to announce soon.
Kids Get Fit has been published in the Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2018 and in the American College of Sports Medicine, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise Journal in 2020.
