The American Heart Association Teams up With Audi Hilton Head to Host the HeART Project

HARDEEVILLE, S.C. - Nov. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- The HeART Project took place this November 14 and 21 at the Boys and Girls Club of Bluffton courtesy of the American Heart Association and Audi Hilton Head. More than 50 youngsters had the opportunity to learn how to live a more healthy lifestyle through a program that included educational presentations and fun activities.

The American Heart Association’s HeART Project is a wonderful way to get kids started on a healthy path that they can continue to follow throughout their lives, and the youngsters from Bluffton had a blast. Students from the University of South Carolina-Beaufort’s Health Promotions Club facilitated the activities that took place at the Boys and Girls Club of Bluffton located at 100 H. E. McCracken Circle in Bluffton, SC.

In addition to learning healthy habits and joining in exercise activities, participants had the chance to illustrate their newfound knowledge by creating artworks. Their efforts will be celebrated at an awards ceremony at the Boys and Girls Club of Bluffton on Tuesday, November 25 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Awards will be given for the Best Concept and Most Creative in age groups 6 to 8 and 9 to 11, with winners receiving a gift certificate from Lovin’ Spoonfuls.
