One Million American Signatures Needed To Create New Sports And Fitness Participants – SGB Media

Washington, D.C., April 27, 2020 While America has screeched to a halt and is more sedentary than ever during the time of COVID-19, PHIT America is working on a long-term plan to get 50 Million kids healthy, active and engaged as future consumers for the sports & fitness industry.

PHIT America recently launched an online petition PetitionForHealthyKids.org will ensure every child gets at minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity at least three times a week in school. The goal is to secure One Million American Signatures in order to raise awareness, which will lead to legislation.

When we talk to Americans, very few are aware that almost 50% of schools have eliminated physical education programs. And, many dont have recess. In fact, they are shocked to hear this, said PHIT America Founder, Jim Baugh. Nearly every American will see the value of physical activity programs in schools and sign this petition. No matter what, we need to educate America on the inactivity issue that we face.

PHIT America will utilize the One Million American Signatures on this petition in multiple ways as part of its 50 Million Healthy Kids plan. To start, it will send the results to school officials and eventually members of Congress. When the long-term plan is rolled out, we are looking to pursue legislation, that mandates every child gets a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity at school 3 times a week, said Baugh.

PHIT America is determined the sports and fitness industry will see the value in signing this petition and circulate it to all of its contacts. How can anyone argue against this? said Baugh. School physical activity programs are a huge influence on whether a kid is activeoutside of school. Engaging our youth in physical fitness now ensures future consumers for the sports & fitness industry.
