NAACP Bakersfield Branch Fitness Challenge

Picture
At our 101st National Convention, we had the pleasure of having our First Lady, Michelle Obama address our members around the issues of Childhood Obesity.

The NAACP has taken a national stance around Childhood Obesity in the African American Community due to the alarming and rising rates. 

Furthermore, research has shown there is a correlation of being overweight during childhood and adolescence increases the risk of developing chronic diseases such as Heart Disease as an adult. And according to the American Heart Association Heart Disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 3 killers of African Americans in this country. February is American Heart Month and the NAACP is launching a new Program with Coke Foundation entitled Project H.E.L. P to promote healthy living, and lifestyles in the African American community.


We are also partnering with Donna Richardson Joyner to launch the Presidents Fitness Challenge in our communities. 

The NAACP wants our communities to take back their Health and we will start with one family at a time! 

Start the New Year with a New You!

The NAACP is announcing its Participation in the President's Challenge with fitness guru Donna Richardson Joyner

The President's Challenge is a healthy lifestyle fitness campaign developed by President Obama that's motivates people to get fit and lead active lifestyles by exercising just 30 minutes a day for children and 50 minutes a day for adults.

We our also launching our new program entitled Project Help which is a partnership between the NAACP and the Coke Foundation to promote healthy families, healthy living, and healthy lifestyles in the African American Community. 


As the rates of chronic diseases rise in our communities it is important that we implement healthy lifestyles in our everyday lives. 

The NAACP wants our communities to take back their Health and we will start with one family at a time!
