Statewide mobile outreach program teaches California children the importance of staying active and eating healthy in a fun, interactive way

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Cross of California, collaborating with the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, is launching a 14-week statewide mobile outreach campaign designed to get children moving and empower them to make healthy lifestyle choices now and in the future. The "Blue Cross Live Like a Champion Tour" will launch prior to the Los Angeles Dodgers game on Tuesday, September 25th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The "Blue Cross Live Like a Champion Tour," featuring a customized SUV, includes interactive games and challenging sports themed activities to help children bring out their "inner champion." The tour is traveling to local community and special events, YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs and other after-school program locations in 10 cities throughout California. Special effort is focused on reaching out to the state's underserved communities.

In addition, almost 40 percent of school-aged children are physically unfit. Healthy eating and physical activity are great strategies to help children stay healthy.
