DISCUSSION:
FitFuture is an aggressive community-wide effort to stop the epidemic of overweight and obesity in Tarrant
County. The City of Fort Worth Public Health Department's Health Promotion & Education section/staff will
repeat an educational event aimed at children and their families Saturday, November 3, 2007 entitled
FitFuture KIDS FEST. This event was funded last year through agreement between the City of Fort Worth
and the United Way of Metropolitan Tarrant County on Contract No. 33063, approved by Council on
December 20, 2005 (M&C C-21224).
With our FitFuture partners (United Way, Fort Worth Independent School District, Fort Worth Parks and
Community Services, Tarrant County Public Health, University of North Texas Health Science Center, City
of Arlington Parks and Recreation and the YMCA), we are organizing FitFuture KIDS Fest with a working
budget of $35,000.00 with a majority of the budget being spent on publicity, activities and event logistics
(i.e. insurance, location, audio/visual equipment, rentals, etc...). The Public Health department is again
charged with serving as the fiscal agent for this event and is currently soliciting additional funds and
sponsorships to pay for this activity. Susan Whittenberger is the program manager.
FitFuture KIDS Fest is a free, fun-filled festival to showcase simple ways families can integrate nutritious
eating and physical activity into their daily lives to reduce overweight and obesity in both children and adult
populations. The 2006 event drew 2,135 participants, more than 100 volunteers and 26 vendors while
providing families the opportunity to:
• participate in healthy cooking demonstrations,
• learn how to grow a healthy vegetable garden,
