ING, in partnership with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), is sponsoring the ING Run for Something Better School Awards Program. The program seeks to increase physical activity in students and help fight childhood obesity nationwide through the creation of school-based running programs. The new awards program will provide fifty (50) $2,000 grants to schools that desire to establish a school-based running program or expand an existing one. Through activity plans created by NASPE and based on the National Standards for Physical Education (NASPE, 2004), the awards program will offer children a healthy start to life and foster their desire to exercise before obesity ever begins. To ensure impartiality, NASPE will manage the 2009 school awards program. Public elementary or middle schools with programs that target 5th-8th grades are eligible to apply. Deadline: June 1, 2009 (posted 4/21/09)
