Fitness Programs
In 2009, a primary focus for the ANNIKA Foundation will be to identify the greatest needs and opportunities to make an impact through the development of sports and physical fitness programs. A key focus will be to provide resources that:
- Increase participation and access where it is not currently available or affordable
- Promote awareness for the importance of leading a healthy active lifestyle
- Create safe environments for children to participate in fitness related activities
ANNIKA Foundation Partners with SPARK to promote healthy, active lifestyles for children
Women’s professional golf icon Annika Sorenstam is pleased to announce that the ANNIKA Foundation will partner with School Specialty’s SPARK Programs to help educate America’s youth about the benefits of physical fitness and proper nutrition. The non-profit foundation, whose mission includes teaching children the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle, selected SPARK as a fitness and nutrition curriculum partner because of its proven, research-based success at positively affecting fitness and influencing healthy behaviors among pre-kindergarten through 12th grade children with its award-winning wellness programs.
