$35Join us for a fun run and walk against childhood obesity as Midas Football Academy a 501c3 organization takes a serious step towards awareness for obesity on September 21st in Houston. The goal is to raise funds to help 200 teenage boys and girls develop structured athletic activities in the community to reduce obesity and eliminate behavioral issues.
The childhood obesity awareness month will begin September 1st and run through September 30th. This is our first year campaign towards this cause. Reaching the $15,000 goal will allow our nonprofit to take soccer to more underserved communities so more children and teenagers can have a right to play.
Reducing obesity and tackling mental health among children and teenagers is part of our organization’s three focus areas. According to the former surgeon general of the United States Richard Carmona, obesity is the second leading cause of death in America.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun way to get active, this event is for everyone! It’s a great opportunity to support our young athletes, promote fitness, and enjoy a day of community spirit together.
