WHY Family Fitness Challenge Day in Watsonville?
The community members of Watsonville face alarming childhood obesity rates of 49.3% in comparison to 31% in the city of Santa Cruz. As a community, we are committed to changing this reality for youth and families. This event will engage families in healthy physical activities and provide practical information on health and fitness resources available in their community. We believe this opportunity can lead to lifelong lifestyle changes for the entire family.
In order to create a culture of health within communities that face many barriers, access and opportunities must be present for residents to utilize. Our vision is to increase these opportunities of health in the Watsonville community by engaging the community at the 1st Annual Family Fitness Challenge Day.
