“Philly Girls in Motion” is a new program coming to Philadelphia.
In an effort to cut down childhood obesity rates and get more girls involved in a healthy lifestyle, the program will teach young women how to grocery shop, prepare healthy meals and exercise.
The girls become empowered – and fit!
Beth Devine, Program Director for “Philly Girls in Motion” stopped by Fox 29 news at Ten to discuss this exciting program.
Beth Devine is getting Philly girls up and moving.
The founder and director of Philly Girls in Motion is determined to “reach out to girls and get them active,” said the Havertown native who graduated from Merion Mercy Academy in Merion. Devine had been working in the corporate world for years and running athletic programs during the summer. An athlete herself, Devine missed being active in full-time health and fitness work. She got herself back in shape and realized “there are so many kids that are inactive and overweight; I wanted to give back to them.”
On Monday, June 28th, Councilman Jim Kenney, Bill Anderson of the WURD morning show, and the directors of Philly Girls in Motion, hosted the Philly Girls in Motion Kickoff Happy Hour at The Palm. Celebrity bartenders served drinks and collected tips to help support the new organization dedicated to nutrition and fitness for Philadelphia girls. Celebrity bartenders included Bill Anderson, head coach Phil Martelli of St. Joseph’s University men’s basketball, head coach Bruiser Flint of Drexel University men’s basketball, head coach Denise Dillon of Drexel University women’s vasketball, and former general manager and team president of the Philadelphia 76ers Billy King.
