"Getting children to run around and have fun is a challenge. But getting them interested in becoming physically fit can be an uphill battle," said Doug Stebbins, physical education teacher at Harold Schnell Elementary School. "This is really like a state-of-the-art health club for an elementary school, because you're using body weight and gravity." The Patch improves posture by lessening muscle dysfunction that can interfere with physical and mental abilities. "It sets the baseline for a lifetime of physical fitness," Stebbins said. "This is going to affect their lifestyle. Kids have more enthusiasm - they're more excited to learn, and more focused."
The Egoscue Foundation thanks our new partner NFL Play 60 for their support. NFL PLAY 60 is the League's youth health and fitness campaign that inspires kids to get active for at least 60 minutes each day. The foundation was honored to have the assistance of the NFL Play 60 program in May when they offered their support by sending Titan's player Chris Hope to the patch donation ribbon cutting at Julia Green Elementary in Nashville, TN.

In the upcoming months announcements will be made about the recipients of the donations and formal ribbon cutting ceremonies will take place.
"Birdies for Children"
Take a guess, donate and WIN A NEW CAR!!!
The Honda Classic Tournament is coming up March 1-7 and they have developed "Birdies for Children". The program allows charities to offer their donor base and supporters in the community an opportunity to participate in a guess-the-birdies contest with the grand prize winner taking home a Brand New 2010 Honda Insight!
Participants do not have to be present to win. The entry fee is $20 per guess or $50 for 3 guesses of the number of birdies made during The Honda Classic Tournament. Anytime a guess is made under the Egoscue Foundation name, 100% of the proceeds will come to the foundation. Participants can pledge online or in person at an Egoscue Clinic. This is a great chance to support the foundation and maybe even win a car!
