GO THE DISTANCE WITH THE GIRL SCOUTS OF NASSAU COUNTY!
Garden City, NY April 14, 2010 – Don’t miss the walk of the season! Register for the Girl Scouts of Nassau County, “Girls Go the Distance” Walkathon on Sunday, April 25th at Jones Beach. The two-mile walk complete with entertainment and activities will bring together families, Troops, community and local corporations to support the Girl Scouts of Nassau County’s Healthy Living Initiative.
“There’s still time to register for our walk, get a team together and start fundraising,” said Donna Ceravolo, Executive Director of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “We look forward to a beautiful day full of energetic participants all gathered together to raise more awareness about healthy living both physically and emotionally.”
The two-mile walk complete with entertainment and activities will support the Girl Scouts of Nassau County’s Healthy Living Initiative. The Healthy Living Initiative brings a unique perspective to keeping girls healthy, as girls define health in their own terms, placing as much emphasis on emotional and social well-being as physical health, nutrition and physical fitness. In addition to healthy eating and physical fitness, the Healthy Living Initiative also focuses on increasing girls’ self-esteem, media image awareness and how to develop healthy relationships.
Attendees will participate in fun activities that can help them learn about healthy choices, while Girl Scout Alumnae and corporate teams can meet today's Girl Scouts, network with peers and be real-life role models for girls throughout Nassau County.
To register, become a team captain, sponsor or for more information on the Girl Scouts of Nassau County “Girls Go the Distance” Walkathon, please visit www.gsnc.org/walk.
