Nutritional
CD-ROM Game Just Launched Nationally for School Fundraising
Programs and Child Education
In
the nation today, the media is reporting on the growing health
challenges being detected in our young.
We've
all heard about the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" TV Game
Show, well a doctor from Mission Viejo, CA has come out with
a health and nutrition CD-ROM game for children in a similar
format but filled with animation and fun things to help our
children learn about proper eating habits and our bodies............but
at the same time............ earn money for their schools
as well!
The idea
is to promote this CD-ROM game directly to our elementary
age children to provide them with education on health and
nutrition. Our aim is not only to bring higher mentality and
awareness of how important nutrition plays a role in our physical
and mental health, but also to generate a generous amount
of funds that can be given to schools and organizations for
the betterment of education to our young people, which is
so vital to our future.
What
Nutrition for Kids is creating is a fund-raising opportunity
for your school to receive thousands of dollars. Each CD-ROM
will sell for $19.95 with 25% per CD given back to the school.
Each CD comes with a free month's subscription to our all-new
Internet Protection Program ($4.95 value). Because of all
the awareness in the media today on the importance of good
nutrition, especially in our young, Dr. Gebrosky feels this
will not only be a tremendous asset to your young kids but
will be quite a hot product and will result in many sales.
Nutrition
for Kids will provide assistance to make this fund-raiser
opportunity simple and timely for the school or organization
so as not to infringe upon their already busy schedules. The
fund-raisers can be promoted through PTA meetings, STPO, book
drives, etc., in-conjunction with other fund-raising activities
already in place. A very simple approach is to send home a
flyer explaining the CD-ROM game, the cost, and the importance
of parent/child participation in receiving orders. All checks
can be made out directly to the school and they will receive
all the monies first hand. After collecting all orders, they
will place an order for the appropriate amount of CD's needed.
Parents,
teachers, principles, board of education members, and even
the media at large feel this is a new and exciting approach
to educate our children and an alternative to candy bar sales
or wrapping paper. “Our children deserve the best possible
education that we can provide them”, says Gebrosky. Our efforts
can and will make a huge difference by reaching our goal of
working together and bridging the gap between teachers, parents,
and child involvement. Many feel the parents will be behind
this wholeheartedly because it is our wish as parents to have
happy, healthy children. This "wholesome" thought doesn't
go away right after giving birth.
It
is a prayer that we have every night when we go to sleep.
With this in mind, 70% of what we are physically and mentally
comes from proper nutrition. In our busy lifestyles that we
live today, we have not only neglected teaching ourselves
about proper nutrition, but have not been able to give proper
consideration to teaching our young ones how to eat properly.
a.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, obesity in children
has risen 54% in just the past 20 years.
b. The director for the Center for Disease Control
mimics those sentiments and feels that we have an "epidemic"
of poor eating habits in our young.
c. The media is now quoting the American Heart Association
and other entities talking about diabetes, high blood pressure,
and even hardening of the arteries in our young.
All
of this is not surprising since many of our convenient foods
that our children consume daily are laden with sugar, preservatives,
sodium, high carbohydrates and fat. Dr. David Nelson from
San Diego, CA states that "if we could just improve our children's
diets, we would see a dramatic increase in their grades at
school". Not only can poor eating habits lead to poor health
and academic performance, but also it can lead to obesity,
which can lead to low self-esteem, self-consciousness, depression,
etc., all which we know reflects on how our children perform
in school. Lower grades, not getting along with other children,
unruly conduct in the classroom, are all attributes of this
dilemma.
"You
Beat the Doc Jr." is a cutting edge game that will intrigue
the children to teach "themselves" about proper nutrition,
healthy food, and having a healthy body. “Our game will be
so exciting to play because the children will be awarded prizes
as they reach new levels in the game”.
a.
never before has there been such a "game frenzy" featured
all over the media
b. never before has health and nutrition gotten so
much exposure in the media
c. never before has there been a greater need and push
for computers
Nutrition
for Kids has future plans to extend the game on to regional
and national competitions among the children (much like spelling
bees) and give them not only the opportunity to learn and
achieve recognition, but to also win very cools prizes not
only for themselves but for the schools they represent as
well.
 Nutrition
for Kids’ Mission Statement: To educate our nation's children
on proper nutrition and health in a way that they will motivate
"themselves" to instill healthy eating habits. Our endeavor
is to reach out to the nation's schools and give back to them,
since they are in-trusted everyday in molding our children's
lives.....our children are our future!
Dr.
Gebrosky urges everyone out there “to come and join us............make
a difference......for our kids!”
