ANTHEM, INC. page 23
Childhood obesity has become a national epidemic
at the same time schools have had to cut budgets for
health and fitness programs. To get kids moving,
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is sponsoring
walking programs, including the Kids’ Walking
Challenge in Colorado. We awarded $1,000 grants
to six elementary schools that promote physical
fitness…and guarantee that students collectively
walk 100 miles.
At Acres Green Elementary School in Littleton,
physical education teacher Warren Dennis organized
600 students to walk at least one-half mile in one day.
“We strongly promote fitness,” Dennis says. “But with
limited funding, we can’t do it alone…we need a lot
more help. To get this kind of help from a company
like Anthem is just awesome.”
