Gov. Reynolds, Iowa Department of Education Launch DON'T QUIT!® Fitness Campaign in Iowa

Statement

Governor Reynolds and the Iowa Department of Education are partnering with the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils (NFGFC) and its chairman Jake Steinfeld to participate in the DON'T QUIT! campaign which aims to reverse growing trends in mental illness and childhood obesity. NFGFC will gift a state-of-the-art DON'T QUIT! fitness center to three elementary or middle schools in Iowa.

"Since becoming Governor, my administration has made historic investments in Iowa's mental health, including the first-ever children's mental health system in our state," stated Governor Reynolds. "I believe in supporting mental health in a variety of ways and am excited about how the DON'T QUIT! campaign can help improve the mental and physical health of school-age children by providing fitness centers for three Iowa schools."
