ABSOLUTE BODY SYMMETRY 4.56

Dear Friends and Business Owners:

Did you know?

Before the 2001 implementation of the, No Child Left Behind federal education law — which emphasized math, reading and other core subjects — elementary school recess times varied across the country, from an hour to 90 minutes a day in the 1980s into the 1990s, according to child health advocates. Now, elementary schools in Georgia and other states typically offer between 10 and 30 minutes, though some have no recess at all.

In an effort to encourage physical activity in classrooms and address the childhood obesity problem in Georgia – that affects one in three children – state educators launched a program in 2015 aimed at getting kids active for at least 30 minutes each day at school, in addition to PE times. The mission of MC Healthcare is to support this initiative by keeping the children in our community active.

MC Healthcare is entering a challenging and exciting time as we seek to develop our youth into mature and healthy members of the community. We are seeking donations and volunteers who believe in our mission and are willing to make a difference in the lives of our youth. We believe this work has never been more important than it is today, and we need your support to help us make an impact within the Pittsburgh Community and surrounding areas.

Our mission is to educate disadvantaged youth and families by providing physical fitness, job skills, and entrepreneurial opportunities that will lead to healthier lifestyles, self-acceptance, and higher economic and academic achievement.

Headquartered in Atlanta, MC Healthcare is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that was established in 1998 for the purpose of bridging the healthcare information gap in underserved communities. We provide healthcare screenings, tests, information, and other preventative services and are pleased to announce our new initiative: The Right Track Program!

The Right Track Summer Camp 2017 is an exciting summer and after-school physical fitness program that concentrates on teaching specific sports, exercises, nutrition, general fitness, team and leadership building skills, along with better health and complete wellness.

Our goal is to reach over 100 at-risk students, who without The Right Track Program, would never receive an opportunity to participate in a structured camp environment. Our programs are designed to keep young minds stimulated and make learning exciting and fun!

We need your support and commitment in order to provide The Right Track Program for the youth of our communities. Opportunities for involvement are listed on the attachment.
We hope you will consider making a donation or volunteering to provide life-changing activities that keep youth engaged and happy during the summer. Please make checks payable to:

MC Healthcare, Inc.

Atlanta, GA 30308
