Additionally, Anthem Blue Cross and the Governor’s Council will present $5,000 worth of fitness and exercise equipment to select schools across the state that have embraced the tour.
The tour uses interactive games and challenging sports-themed activities to help children bring out their “inner champion.”

Research shows that active and well-nourished children have stronger bones and muscles, higher self-esteem and improved performance at school,” said Harvinder Sareen, director of clinical programs, Anthem Blue Cross, the state’s health coverage provider.
The information was released Tuesday, Oct. 5.
