Healthy Lombard is once again sponsoring the “Flat Apple” Summer Activity. The purpose of Flat Apple is to encourage youth to make choices that encourage healthy lifestyles through education, promotion of exercise and supplementing physical education programs during summer vacation.

Participation for children in the community ages 4-14 is easy. Parents can take the following steps to help their students participate:

1. Register your child in the FLAT APPLE PROGRAM using the link in the banner at  the top of this page.
2. Participate in a Healthy Lombard Hot Spot Event. - Throughout the program, Healthy Lombard will host “Hot-Spot Events” that encourage summertime group exercise activities for children. When you participate in the event, you will earn one (1) apple bite (ticket). Each “bite” provides the participant an opportunity to enter the drawing to earn a valuable prize for their healthy habits.
3. BE HEALTHY AND HAVE FUN - The 2015 Healthy Lombard FLAT APPLE PROGRAM will kick-off June 12, 2015 with the Dash For Ash 5K Fun Run supporting the Outreach House. The FLAT APPLE PROGRAM will conclude on September 19, 2015 at the Sky Centers Challenge. Raffle prizes including a bicycle, electronics, and gift certificates to Lombard businesses will be drawn and given away at the final event

“The Flat Apple program is an easy way to have fun this summer and spread the message that, if we are going to curb Childhood Obesity, everyone needs to be involved,” said Healthy Lombard founder and CEO Jay Wojcik.

The Healthy Lombard Board of Directors encourages all Lombard children between the ages of 4 years old and 14 years old to TAKE A BITE OF THE APPLE FOR A HEALTHIER YOU!
