One out of every three kids is obese and as a group they will be the first generation to have an expected life span shorter than their parents. ” says Ruann Ernest, PhD and Board Director of Kids Sports Stars.

KIDS SPORTS STARS (“KSS”) will receive a percentage of the event's net profits. KSS’s mission is to motivate and educate kids to adopt active, healthy lifestyles, using the power of sports and fitness. They focus on the evaluation and support of quality school based programs which educate kids and their families on healthy eating and challenge them to achieve some sport activity like walking/running a marathon over four months or virtually hiking the trails of the Grand Canyon. The Phoenix-based Kids Sports Stars, a non-profit organization, was established by a group of Phoenix area residents and businesspeople who wanted to give back in the community by addressing the epidemic of inactivity and unhealthy eating by our youth. www.kidssportsstars.org
