Kennett Square, PA (PRWEB) September 25, 2013 -- On Saturday, September 28, 2013, La Comunidad Hispana (LCH) will present its third annual family health and fitness fair ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® This event promotes Hispanic family physical activity and good nutrition for better health and wellness for people of all ages and all sizes. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at Anson B. Nixon Park, 100 Waterworks Drive, in Kennett Square, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

According to LCH’s Executive Director, Margarita Queralt Mirkil, “After two years hosting this event, we are committed to making this third year even bigger and better. Providing a fun day for everyone in the family, the event is all about improving the health and well-being of our community. We want to encourage families to take an active role in improving their health and support their families in making healthy choices. We believe events like this provide the tools that lead to change. We have a 5K Family Run/Walk to start off the day, lots of activities for everyone in the family, and great entertainment on stage. We expect a great turnout!”

¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® demonstrates the power of culture, family, and community to promote better health for all. The Kennett Square event will feature free flu shots and health screenings, including blood pressure, osteoporosis, and vision. There will also be activities for the whole family including sports clinics, Zumba, nutrition and health education, healthy cooking demonstrations, and face painting and moon bounces for kids. Participants will also have the chance to win raffles and giveaways, enjoy healthy snacks, listen to live music, and much more.

“The support we receive from Newman’s Own Foundation and the Healthy Americas Foundation allows us to serve 20,000 people at community family health events this year, like the one this weekend in Kennett Square,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the nation’s leading Hispanic health advocacy group, and author of The Latina Guide to Health and the Buena Salud® Guide book series.

“We are proud to support the National Alliance for Hispanic Health in providing community-based health and nutrition outreach,” said Robert Forrester, president of Newman’s Own Foundation. “One of the Foundation’s priorities is the support of nonprofits whose focus is on nutrition, and ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® works to address a broad range of needs on the local level.”

All participants of ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® Kennett Square will be eligible to register for the National Alliance for Hispanic Health’s Buena Salud® Club. This free membership club is designed to promote healthy lifestyles by providing year-round reliable and confidential health information and provider referrals.
