We had a fun afternoon at the Boys and Girls Club yesterday! We were able to be a part of a great event that promoted wellness and activity to the children of the Club! Dr.Dan Reiffenberger and Dr.Jon McAreavey talked to the kids about activity and wellness and then we had a jump rope challenge! The kids received some goodies to take home and we donated about 200 jumpropes for the club to use with their kids. What a fun way to promote activity and wellness to the kids in our community! You can read more below from KXLG’s press release and if you click the link, it will bring you to their website where the audio links from Dr.Dan’s and Dr.Jon’s talks can be found. Keep moving everyone!!
“Brown Clinic’s Jump Start Your Health Promotion came alive at the Watertown Boys and Girls Club Wednesday afternoon where more than 200 backpacks with wellness books and jump ropes were handed out to the kids at the club to help jumpstart their wellness. Among the gifts in the backpacks were Subway coupons for all the boys and girls. Among the nearly one-dozen employees from Brown Clinic who were at the event was Dr. Jon McAreavey who is a family physician at the clinic and Boys and Girls Club Board member.” http://www.mykxlg.com/40252-2/
