SEASPAR Awarded Health Advocacy Grant

SEASPAR's (the South East Association for Special Parks and Recreation) Enhanced Adult Growth through Lifestyle Education and Service program or EAGLES, was awarded a $7,500 grant from the DuPage Medical Group Charitable Fund. The donation is part an ongoing collaborative effort to promote the benefits of proper nutrition and an active lifestyle within the special needs community. Like many before it, this year's grant will directly fund many SEASPAR healthy initiatives.

Initially, the grant was awarded as a direct financial contribution to Commit To Be Fit, an early EAGLES healthy initiative. Since then, demand for health-based options has increased thanks to SEASPAR's dedication to providing awareness programs made possible by the grant. EAGLES participants now benefit from healthy lifestyle counseling, visits from fitness and yoga instructors, healthy food options, workout equipment, and technology to help set and manage goals.
Advocating for the importance of proper nutrition and maintaining an active lifestyle in the special needs community is more important now than ever. Thanks to the generous donation from the DuPage Medical Group Charitable Fund, SEASPAR can continue the mission.
