Sack Childhood Obesity- The Sports & Wellness Camp 2011

Former Creek View student Tiger Greene’s battle with childhood obesity has been featured on the Dr. Oz show, CNN News, and 11Alive News. At twelve-years old, Tiger made healthy lifestyle changes and started the non-profit organization Team Tiger to support other kids and families in the fight against childhood obesity.

Team Tiger and Buffalo Bills Defensive end Marcus Stroud will hold a Sports and Wellness Camp at the Georgia Dome on Saturday, April 16. Children ages 7 to 15 who fall into national criteria for childhood obesity are invited to complete an essay for a spot at the camp. Children and their families will be given resources and the support needed to succeed in this battle.
