MAC event to combat youth obesity

With childhood obesity on the rise, the Malkin Athletic Center (MAC) is sponsoring an evening of family games and exercise for members of the University community and their families on April 29 from 7 to 9 p.m. The gym will be divided into different playground-style games, with an area dedicated to fitness testing. Kid-friendly nutritious recipes will also be on hand.

The event - open to all Harvard ID holders and their guests - is suggested for children in grades 1-6, though all are welcome. The MAC asks that all families interested in attending register by phone at (617) 496-8553, or via e-mail (Karen Torres at heminfo@fas.harvard.edu).
