Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a professional athlete? Today, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is kicking off a new #MIKidsCan contest that will give Michigan kids a chance to find out.
BCBSM has partnered with the Detroit Lions Play 60 campaign to encourage kids to be active for 60 minutes a day to help reverse the trend of childhood obesity.
Roary and the #MIKidsCan ambassadors are here to help you on the road to becoming healthier. Visit www.ahealthiermichigan.org/MIKidsCan each week to get their tips for completing the Play like a Lion Challenge.
The #MIKidsCan Play like a Lion Challenge can help keep kids active this summer while giving them a look at what it’s like to be a professional athlete. Plus, families have a chance to win some great prizes!
Now through Aug. 2, kids ages 6 to 12 (supervised by a parent or guardian), can sign up for the challenge by making the pledge at www.ahealthiermichigan.org/MIKidsCan.
Ten winners will be selected to receive a VIP experience for themselves and a friend at Ford Field when the Detroit Lions take on the New York Jets on Aug. 13. Winners will have a chance to go on the field for an exclusive pre-game workout session with Detroit Lions trainers and staff, before the 7:30 p.m. game.
Winners will also receive:
