CHANHASSEN, Minn., Nov. 18, 2021 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Life Time Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable arm of Life Time (NYSE: LTH) today announced a massive commitment to improving children’s health with the launch of Get Kids Moving!

“Simply put, the statistics are staggering, and today’s youth are not getting enough exercise. Our Life Time Foundation is committed to changing this through Get Kids Moving!, and we know we can make a positive impact.” said Kimo Seymour, President of Events and Media at Life Time and Executive Director of the Life Time Foundation. “This new focus is an incredibly important—and needed—complement to our work in bettering children’s health by serving the most nourishing food possible in schools. These kids are our future, and we must make sure they’re developing lifelong, healthy values.”

The focus on youth movement is an addition to the Foundation’s 15-year commitment to improving children’s health by improving school food. To date, the Foundation has impacted more than 1.7 million students at 3,634 schools through 35 public school district partnerships. Through this grant, the Foundation will fund projects of school districts, school sites, and local non-profit organizations across the country that make safe, fun, enriching physical activity accessible for to all kids and support them, especially those from historically underserved communities, in developing healthy lifelong habits of physical activity.
