2. AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT…
Dear Friends,
You are cordially invited to join us in our quest to combat INACTIVITY and OBESITY in children. For years, studies have
revealed the dangers of these rising epidemic and the need to educate our children (and parents) in the most innovative
manner is NOW. But we must go beyond education, we must add the element of fun, entertainment, and technology, to
allow the generations to better “absorb” the information we are trying to “teach”.
With that said, Generation T.E.M.P.O. and the MaKee Company is pleased to present its National Youth Fitness Festival
(NYFF), a 2 day Festival program that is designed to be a community program supported, implemented, and participated in
by the community, public and private sectors. NYFF is a highly interactive event that will highlight a variety of sports,
fitness, and alternative activities, to show children that they do not need to be an athlete to be active and healthy. Lastly,
NYFF takes the element of competition and levels the playing field for everyone to participate, by providing only the
highlights of each activity and not the actual “strategy of play”.
NYFF supports several Children's Health & Wellness initiatives. As such, NYFF will take the festival on a national tour to
create a change movement. We expect to have a perpetual presence in these cities, as we partner with the NBA, NFL, MLB,
MSL, USTA, MMA, and many other professional sports organizations as well as local non-profit organizations, in their quest to
keep children active and healthy.
NYFF began with a vision that if kids are shown different options and activities, their creative minds will put something
together on their own. Imagine a child’s potential take away: Dribbling from basketball, drop downs from football, sprints
from track, downward dog from yoga, merrengue march from Zumba, torso twists from golf. Sounds like the makings of a
good workout right? Now imagine having more options than just those sports….THAT is what NYFF is about!
In closing, we hope we have inspired you to make YOUR MOVE and JOIN THE MOVEMENT. We look forward to your
support and participation in changing the lives of our youth.
Cordially,
R. Lynn Pingol
Founder
3. INACTIVITY IS AT AN ALARMING RATE!
In 2013, PHIT America conducted a study on 40,000 Americans, revealing
the shocking inactivity trends plaguing our country. Note that the ages nearly
correlate to the OBESITY chart in the next page, which was conducted by a
different organization.

4. WHY HAVE A FESTIVAL?
OBSESITY CONTINUES TO RISE!
The Inactivity study in the previous chart reflects that beginning 2007,
nearly 30% of Children were inactive. Thus it is no coincidence, that
obesity rates in the chart below also shows nearly 48% and hovering.
5. INACTIVITY IS A PANDEMIC
o 80 Million Totally Sedentary Americans – Up 10 Million in 6 Years
o Ramifications of the Obesity Crisis are well documented by the Central for Disease Control
o The Inactivity Pandemic is a Root Cause of Obesity & Rising Healthcare Costs
