Coca-Cola Company To Fund New Fitness Centers In Eight California Schools

The Fresno (CA) Business Journal (9/15) reported Dunlap Elementary School in Fresno County, California "was one of eight in [the state] to receive a brand new fitness center thanks to a donation by the Coca-Cola company." The fitness centers "valued at $100,000 each." Schools were chosen for the prize "from among 2,000 that participated in the Governor's Fitness Challenge last year to boost the amount of physical activity that students, parents and teachers engage in."


 

The Central Valley Business Times (9/15) reported that "three schools in the Central Valley will be getting fitness centers" from "the Coca-Cola Company through the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports." The Business Times adds that the winning schools "exhibited exceptional effort in rising to the California Governor's Challenge of engaging in physical activity 30-60 minutes a day, at least three days a week for four weeks during the previous school year." KPSP-TV (9/16) also covers the story.
