Saucony has jumped on board to fight childhood obesity. They are raising money, selling red laces for $1.00. The Saucony Run for Good Program has been created to help reverse the trends of lacking exercise and poor dietary habits amongst our children and youth today.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Run for Good Program, which provides grants to non-profit organizations that support our mission. Some of the fourth round grant winners were YMCA of Greater Spartanburg, Crim Fitness Foundation, Perry Central Community School Corporation, and Johnson County Park and Recreation District. The Massachusetts Governor's office is helping with the fight against obesity. The governor, Deval Patrick, declared Monday, April 9, 2007 the program in the Commonwealth.
