Press Release: PTI Raises Money to Support Jared Foundation
Jericho, NY, August 5, 2010 – As part of its quest to bring healthier connections that combine fitness and nutrition, Personal Training Institute® (PTI) has joined Jared Fogle, Subway® Spokesperson, in support of the Jared Foundation to help combat childhood obesity. PTI donated two treadmills to the Foundation valued at approximately $7,945 each courtesy of its equipment supplier Star Trac®. The equipment was raffled off at the 2010 Subway Convention July 25 in Chicago, Illinois.
In a follow-up letter to PTI, Russ Taylor, Executive Director, Jared Foundation wrote, “We raised directly because of you $9,300!!! That is an incredible number and a reflection of what can happen when we all work together to battle childhood obesity. This epidemic shows no signs of slowing down but together we are convinced we can make a difference. We have no choice – the problem is too great to ignore.”
Jared was present at his Foundation booth to promote his cause (see photo below). Attendees had the opportunity to purchase a photograph with Jared to support his Foundation, which helped raise money. The Foundation provides programs for children ages 6-14 and support tools and information aimed at helping parents, educators and health care professionals to help prevent childhood obesity by encouraging positive lifestyle choices.
