Get Moving! Inc.

Our mission at Get Moving! is to encourage physical activity and healthy lifestyles for children in the Mountain State.

In the last ten years, West Virginia has ranked in the top five spots for childhood obesity nationwide. To combat these statistics, we promote the idea to get outside, get active and get moving. This non-profit has been organized and designed to invite current student-athletes and current or former NFL players to motivate children to participate in activities involving exercise, a healthy diet, mindfulness, and nutrition.

We are establishing opportunities for children to participate in exercises at home and/or at school that encourage playing will friends and spending time outdoors. Healthy lifestyles are not only fulfilled with exercise but incorporate diet, nutrition, and mindfulness! 

The Get Moving! Day of Play is a two-stage campaign that brings the NFL Play 60 ideology back home to our children in the state of West Virginia as the Day of Play. According to The State of Obesity Report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, if the current trend continues, West Virginia’s adult obesity rate will rise to reach above 60 percent by 2030. Because of this, it is our mission to reverse the trend in the children's generation, and to start it right now through the inspirations of their football heroes, WVU NFL players.
