Why MOVband Physical Education programs in schools are drastically being cut, kids are becoming more sedentary and the result is an obesity epidemic.

Schools and organizations must invest, or find creative fund-raising solutions to bring the wellness of our kids to the forefront. MOVband, an innovative product combined with the MOVband Challenge, is a simple and effective, movement-based fundraising program that can help.
