We are pleased to announce that Graco Children’s Products (the leading juvenile products company in the world) has signed on as title sponsor for the first annual “Fit for the Future” fundraising event to benefit First Candle programs and services. StrollerFit, the premiere mom and baby fitness brand, will be the event's fitness partner. Other sponsors include Babytalk magazine and FleetFeet.

This inaugural event will take place in Houston, Texas on February 17, 2007 and includes a 5K race, offering participants the option of running, walking or “strolling” with their babies and/or toddlers. A fun race for school-aged children will also be offered.

The event will culminate with family-friendly activities, including entertainment such as clowns, face painters, games, demonstrations, local celebrities and an expo with vendors selling products and providing information of interest and value to young families.

If you are interested in supporting the 2007 Fit for the Future event, or if you are interested in sharing your talent and/or expertise in planning an event in your area, please contact Jennie Boden at 800-221-7437 or jennie.boden@firstcandle.org.
