Girls’ running program expands to Utah, Davis and Summit Counties

According to statistics, only 11 percent of young girls get the recommended hour a day of recommended physical activity -- compared with 42 percent of boys.

Girls on the Run (GOTR), a non-profit organization, wants to change those statistics.  They understand that exercise not only increases the health of our girls, but builds their self-esteem and confidence as well.

GOTR has had great success with its after-school program that is designed to promote physical, emotional and social development in 3rd – 5th grade girls through running and mentoring.  The program provides team coaches and individual ‘running buddies’ to more than 800 girls in Salt Lake County as they train over 12 weeks for the annual 5k at Sugar House Park each spring and fall.

Davis Area CVB Promotes 'Tourism in your own Backyard' for all Davis County elementary students.

In 2005 the Davis Area CVB began a campaign “Have a Summer of Fun in Davis County” to help educate elementary students about tourism in Davis County by sending home over 35,000 flyers to every student at the end of the school year. The flyers list attractions, main events and cultural arts for students to visit through out the summer.

In 2006 a contest was added to encourage visitation and participation. All children that visited each of the venues received a validation stamp, brought in their flyer to the Davis Area CVB and received a Cool Prize. Their name was then entered into a Grand Prize Drawing to be eligible to win one of four Grand Prizes, a Lagoon Season Pass or a Cherry Hill Season Pass.

The campaign and contest have had a great response over the years not only from the kids but from the parents as well. This year the Davis Area CVB will be distributing over 43,000 flyers to the school district as well as the Davis County charter schools.
