UNION COUNTY
The North Carolina Alliance for Athletics, Health, Physical Education, Recreation,
and Dance (NCAAHPERD), launched In-school Prevention of Obesity and Disease (IsPOD) in 2007. The initiative began with a grant from the NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund and was expanded with grants from the Blue Cross
Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation. The expansion to a state-wide program
is supported by a $3.6 million grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust. NCAAHPERD is engaged with a large network of health and physical education
groups seeking greater opportunities for a healthier and more creative North Carolina.
