Healthy Futures program was established at nearly the same time as The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame.\u00a0 Their shared mission of promoting a healthy youth population led to several collaborations. In 2011, Healthy Futures became the signature program of The Hall.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0goal of Healthy Futures is simple:\u00a0empower Alaska\u2019s youth to build the habit of daily physical activity. \u00a0<\/em>The two core elements of the program are the\u00a0Healthy Futures activity log (to develop the habit of daily physical activity) and event support (to increase youth attendance at community recreational events).<\/p>\n Healthy Futures also works to address health equity through the Game Changer Fund. The Game Changer provides small grants to youth from low income families to remove barriers to participation in sports and recreation such as equipment, fees, and transportation costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Over 10,000 Alaskan youth from over 100 elementary schools statewide participate in the Healthy Futures Challenge every fall and spring. Over 50 events statewide annually receive support from Healthy Futures.<\/p>\n Healthy Futures was founded in 2003 by the late Bonny Sosa Young and her husband Sam Young, two parents concerned with the growing obesity epidemic in Alaska.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/healthyfuturesak.org\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Learn More” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button – Healthy Futures Website” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Healthy Futures The signature program of the Alaska Sports Hall of FameHealthy Futures program was established at nearly the same time as The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame.\u00a0 Their shared mission of promoting a healthy youth population led to several collaborations.
