Legacy is hosting a Zumba-a-thon as a back-to-school event, with which we're hoping to supply 1,100 students with bookbags and school supplies. Students will visit the UMKC campus where the Zumba-a-thon will take place. They will need to participate in at least a 30-minute workout with a Zumba instructor before they receive the school supplies and bookbag. We believe that in order to promote a healthier society that we have to put our children in a position where they see and are equipped with options to live a healthier lifestyle. That's why we're tying the Zumba-a-thon to the school-supply giveaway. While the students are working out their parents will receive information on UMKC, organizations that offer tutoring programs and also get a tour of the university campus. The parents and students will also receive information and instruction on health/wellness activities, such as how to shop healthy, cook healthy and exercise suggestions. Students will receive information on conflict resolution. The next day students from our summer youth Arts/Theater program, which runs every Saturday this summer, will put on a showcase that will culminate a full weekend of activities that are aimed at promoting youth literacy, tackling the issue of childhood obesity and deterring youth violence.
