THE PROBLEM
USA KIDS ARE IN BAD SHAPE
-
US kids are ranked LAST in physical health among 38 developed countries - UNICEF
-
US kids are ranked 47th out of 50 countries in fitness - BRITISH JOURNAL OF SPORTS MEDICINE
-
During the COVID pandemic, kids 5-11 years old were more inactive & gained 5 pounds on average
-
Mental health issues have become more common during COVID as well
-
Nearly 50% of all USA schools have eliminated physical education or reduced it dramatically
-
Schools are looking for more programing to get kids more active, fit and healthy
THE SITUATION IN PALM BEACH COUNTY
261 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS - MANY NEED OUR HELP
-
There are 150 public elementary schools as well at 111 private elementary schools in Palm Beach County; Many are Title 1 schools which traditionally are underserved and have great needs

Palm Beach County Resident & PHIT America Founder Jim Baugh
"PHIT America is helping children all over America but I want to make sure we help the kids in my backyard. IMPACT 100 Palm Beach County and the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties have stepped up in a huge way. I also want to thank Eric Stern at the Palm Beach County School District and others for their support.
