DKWIO Partners With CIS Detroit to Serve Children Through Summer Camp;
Healthy Activities to Include Second-annual 'Day in the Park,' Sports,
Relaxation Techniques, Cultural Events and More
DETROIT, June 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Danialle Karmanos' Work It Out (DKWIO)
program today announced that it will extend its ongoing battle against the
epidemic of childhood obesity by partnering with Communities in Schools of
Detroit. Through this partnership, approximately 50 children and their
families will benefit from DKWIO's holistic approach to providing the
potentially life-saving tools they need to increase and maintain mental,
physical and spiritual health.
"Childhood obesity places a tremendous emotional, economic and social
burden on our region and our country," said Danialle Karmanos, Founder and
Executive Director of DKWIO. "By partnering with Communities in Schools of
Detroit, DKWIO will continue to attack this problem head-on by providing
the means for adults and caregivers to ensure children to live more active,
healthier lives."
The Danialle Karmanos Work It Out program and its Summer Camp provide a
sustainable approach to total health for kids and their families. Featuring
a wide spectrum of healthy activities, DKWIO and its Summer Camp offer
children the opportunity to participate in cardiovascular activities,
relaxation techniques, dance and nutrition classes, cultural events and
more.
Additionally, the Detroit-area children served by DKWIO will again
enjoy the opportunity to participate in "Day in the Park," taking place
this year on June 27 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Campus Martius Park.
"Day in the Park" expects to attract about 1,500 guests and will feature
healthy activities such as a bungee run, boxing with super-sized boxing
gloves, clowns, face painting, water balloon toss and a dunk tank.
"So many of our children are living unhealthy lifestyles. Yet despite
all the conversation, little is actually being done to combat the problem,"
said Charlie Anderson, Executive Director at CIS Detroit. "That's why we're
so enthusiastic about working with the DKWIO program to make an important
difference in the lives of our kids."
