Fund
Raiser: Nutrition/Health CD-ROM Game for Children (6-16 yrs.)
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 directed to our elementary
age children to provide them with education on health and
nutrition. The company, Nutrition for Kids, is aiming not
only to bring higher mentality and awareness on how important
nutrition plays a vital role in our physical or mental health,
but also to generate a generous amount of funds that can be
given to the schools for the betterment of education to our
young people which, is so vital to our future.
What
we propose 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, we feel 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.
We
will provide assistance to make this fund-raiser opportunity
simple and timely for you so as not to infringe upon your
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
your school and you will receive all the monies first hand.
After collecting all orders, you may place an order for the
appropriate amount of CD's needed.
We
feel this is a new and exciting approach to educate our children
and a much more beneficial fund-raiser than candy bar sales
or wrapping paper. Our children deserve the "best" possible
education that we can provide them. 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. We feel our 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
Our
future plans will be to extend our 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!"
