Baylor Scott & White Irving Foundation is so proud to help tackle one of our nation's greatest health challenges right here in Irving. And here's the good news: little changes in lifestyle make a big difference towards reaching a healthy weight.
BSWIF supports programs designed to teach children the benefits of healthy eating and exercise. One of these programs is the iRun Irving program, created by the Irving ISD. iRun Irving is made up of more than 9,200 elementary and middle school students who walk the equivalent of a marathon race (26.2 miles), resulting in a total of 185,895 miles walked over a period of only a few months. We have also used donations to fund several sessions of Fit for Health, an 11-week fun family fitness “boot camp” at the Irving Family YMCA.
Funds raised from individual donors and companies help support these great programs that seek to help reverse the course of the obesity epidemic. We also use BSWIF's share of the Irving Kids Charity Classic golf clinic and the Irving Marathon each year for this worthy purpose.
