Community Nutrition Grant Recipient: Students Run Oakland (SRO)
BADA is proud to present the $750 grant to Students Run Oakland (SRO) to be used for their Food for Thought program.  This nutrition program will provide SRO participants with the opportunity to participate in nutrition workshops as part of their curriculum working towards completion of the LA Marathon.

SRO’s mission is to improve the overall health of young people through structured physical fitness training; mentoring; nutrition and health education.  SRO uses the challenge of training for a marathon to help students develop long-term goals, improve their health, and overcome obstacles by providing structured, non-competitive physical fitness training in a safe and positive environment.  Through training and mentoring, SRO builds confidence, resiliency, and reinforces the values of commitment and hard work.  Students then can draw on these values for achievement in academics and other areas throughout their lives.
