Inspired by former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s
Move campaign, “I’m A Star Foundation” invites the community to its 7th Annual “Let’s Move Jacksonville” event.
The healthy food and fitness festival will be held Saturday, December 2,
2017 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Henry J. Klutho Park, located at 204 W 3rd St,
Jacksonville, FL 32206. Let’s Move
Jacksonville is free and open to the public.
Each year since 2010, youth in the I’m A Star Foundation plan events in a
grassroots effort to engage their peer group and combat childhood obesity. As a precursor to the event above, the “I'm A
Star” students will have 5 generations, in the same room, getting healthier
together on Nov. 17th from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Martin Luther King
Elementary FAME Academy. This is made
possible through grants from 6 TO 76,
which are grants from the Florida
Beverage Association and the American Beverage Association that empower young people and
senior citizens to adopt healthier lifestyles.
The gathering will consist of: Healthy Meal Prep: Participants will make a healthy meal; Closing the Generational Gap: Participants will eat the meal together family-style and discuss issues that impact them; also Getting Active/Dancing Through the Years: Participants will dance together and learn dances unique to specific generations.
People who have RSVP'd to the event are from the following generations:
The iGen, Gen Z or Centennials born 1996 through 2010
Millennial generation or Gen Y born between 1977 and 1995
Generation X born between 1965 and 1976
Baby Boomer Generation born between 1946 and 1964
Traditionalist or Silent Generation born between 1920 and 1945
I’m A Star teens design the event for the whole family, ages 1 to 100. There will be free food, games, sports, dancing, arts, crafts, vendors and more. City and community leaders of all kinds typically support the event, which has attracted upwards of 3000 + people. Families, groups or churches who bring the most attendees will win $1000.
I’m A Star Foundation has partnered with 93.3 The Beat in a #LetsMoveMondays social media challenge. Every Monday, post a video of yourself dancing to your Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, with hashtag #LetsMoveMondays — and one lucky winner will be chosen to receive a prize of $100 — announced at Let’s Move Jacksonville on December 2.
