Texas Children’s, are you ready for some football?
Beginning in the 2015-2016 NFL season, we will team up with the Houston Texans to help children lead healthier, more productive lives.
The exclusive pediatric health care partnership with the beloved sports team will kick off Sunday, April 19 at the Houston Texans Kids Triathlon, an event that is expected to draw 3,000 youth.
For the next seven years, Texas Children’s and the Houston Texans will work together to build a community of healthier kids, focusing on increasing community engagement and the education of youth on the importance of nutrition and physical activity.
We will host numerous sports camps, programs and events, including Texas Jr. Cheer, Running of the Bulls: TORO Kids 1K run/walk, Youth Football Camps, Heads Up Football Program, TORO’s Training Table and Play 60, the NFL initiative to encourage children to exercise at least 60 minutes every day. We also will visit more than 25 Houston-area elementary schools each year to teach children about healthy eating and lifestyles.
Together, we will reach our goal of building a community of healthier kids.
Stay tuned for updates about this unique partnership.
