resources Google ranks number one in the U. Each
family decides whether their child will pledge to get more exercise through
more active play and other means, and those who elect to do so return their
pledges to the school or youth organization. "That's why we developed
the Pledge More Active Play program and are making it available free."
Vice Presidents Hy and Adam Schwartz said the program is easy to implement
and complements almost any initiative or program related to the well-being of
children and families, citing those of the YMCA, Boys + Girls Clubs and
