Amped encourages children to get active every day before school and for 25 schools around the U.S., this program will be absolutely free. Amped is part of PHIT America's national GO! Grants program that aims to help increase physical activity before, during or after school by providing schools with effective physical activity programs such as Amped. The new PHIT America videos – "Creating Healthier & Smarter Kids – The Power of Physical Education" – can be found on Videos.PHITAmerica.org. With the launch, PHIT America will be providing tools to PE teachers to raise funds for their school. "With Amped in place before school we will get the students' brains primed to have a great learning experience during the day," explains PHIT America founder Jim Baugh. "There is no better way for these local children to start their school days than getting Amped — running and walking together." For more information: www.PHITAmerica.org. Applications are open until January 31, 2019. Sports, Inc. Partners With TeamWorks Sports, Inc. and TeamWorks, a fundraising application, have partnered to help team dealers assist their schools and leagues in raising money. With the TeamWorks platform, in just 15 minutes a TeamWorks or Sports, Inc. rep can guide a team through the set-up process using pre-built fundraising templates. Using these customized sites along with e-mail and social media marketing tools, athletes and coaches can be meeting their fundraising goals in hours instead of weeks. "With shrinking budgets, our team sports customers face growing pressure to raise enough money to pay for required expenses each season," says TeamWorks co-founder Jeff Jenkins. "With this fundraising partnership, we can help relieve that pressure. Together, we will put a solution in the hands of schools and leagues to help them raise money quickly."
