Recess By the River, June 2011
The Spring 2011 “Recess by the River” event was June 7 and is the finale to the second season of the Recess by the River program hosted by the American Heart Association. Personally, this was my fourth Recess by the River event, and it is such a privilege to continue to be at the center of such a worthy project!
In addition to the International Pageant System, Recess by the River received support from Erick’s Hope Foundation, CareFirst BlueCross-BlueShield, the DC Parks and Recreation Department, the National Association of Teen Fitness and Exercise, the Washington Redskins and GSK, the DC Divas (all female semi-pro football!), Chef Mitchell and more.
An afternoon of fun activities aimed at helping the children learn about nutrition, exercise and the importance of making good decisions about them was designed to help fight childhood obesity in the District. The day served as a reward for 250 children and the Recreation Centers who participated in the program.
