Capitol Hill To Host P.E. Class In Effort to Save PEP Funding

Members of the athletic, fitness and sporting goods industries plan to practice what they preach during a visit to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Almost 150 leaders from various organizations will meet with more than 120 members of U.S. Congress and their staff members to lobby support for the Physical Education Program (PEP) bill and the Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Act. Meanwhile, other supporters will stage a simulated physical education class inside the U.S. Capitol building to showcase how diverse and dynamic today's P.E. classes have become.

It's all part of the 12th National Health Through Fitness Day - sponsored by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. The goal: to explain and demonstrate why endangered federal funding of P.E. programs is vital and must continue.
