Golden Youth Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif. announced their pick for the 2004 Golden Youth Awards Outstanding Achievement in the fight against obesity in kids. Nutrition and Kids, from Newport Beach, Calif., will be recognized in Golden Youth's upcoming Celebrity Gala event for their superb achievements in educating kids and families all over the country through their one-of-a-kind, 3-D animated CD-ROM game that introduces players to the world of healthy eating through colorful characters such as "The Professor," "Bear," "Banana Dana," "Side-Kick Leaf" and others.
Players are taken on a series of challenging adventures from planting seeds in organic gardens to pyramids of food (introducing the importance of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and the benefits of eating a good breakfast and drinking plenty of water). They even get to visit the doctor's office and try to work their way through the secret room. There are exams that players must pass covering the terms and healthy facts that they were introduced to while playing the game. Then the players get to try out to win a variety of prizes.
Dr. Kim Gebrosky,founder and creator of this wonderful Nutrition and Kids Adventures game, and president and CEO of Nutrition and Kids, Intl., has already touched the lives of kids and families across the country. In fact, Gwen Foster, the Health Czar from the City of Philadelphia, has wholeheartedly endorsed the game. Nutrition and Kids is even included in Senator Frist's recent Health Initiative in Washington as an example of what the private sector is doing to combat this epidemic of obesity and diabetes with kids. The media everywhere is telling the Nutrition and Kids story and Gebrosky has gained the support of doctors and health professionals everywhere. The game has already made its way into many schools throughout the country.
School districts, private schools, churches, and athletic organizations and foundations are also finding this unique Nutrition and Kids Adventures Game as the perfect alternative to the typical candy, cookies, and cakes used so often in today's fund-raisers. Gebrosky's game can be used to raise much-needed funds as money is given back to the school or organization for every CD sold. Nutrition and Kids even provides a free website to every fund-raiser.
With so many children being affected by this epidemic of obesity and developing illnesses at very young ages that used to be reserved for people over 50, Golden Youth Awards feels that this work being done by Nutrition and Kids is some of the most important and timely contributions being made today.
"We hope to do our part to place Nutrition and Kids on the map and give them the massive media exposure they so richly deserve through our alliance with the major celebrities that we represent," said Boris G. Brezhnev, executive producer for the Golden Youth Awards. Golden Youth Awards is an international network and is affiliated with the International Research and Business Foundation.
