ASAP Acceleration Grants Now Available

Last year, Active Schools Acceleration Project (ASAP) scoured the nation for fun, flexible and creative school-based physical activity programs that could be replicated widely in schools across America. Our Innovation Competition recognized amazing programs started by educators, parents, and PE teachers. We are now ready to empower 1,000 schools to adopt these award-winning models and show that fun physical activity is an important component of a quality education and a great school!

ASAP will award 1,000 elementary schools in the United States $1,000 each to kick start one of three school-based physical activity programs – 100 Mile Club, BOKS, or Just Move.  In addition to the grant money, participating schools will get a ‘game plan’ for their chosen program and a nationwide support network of other champions embarking on the same path.

Applications will be accepted through April 22, 2013.  Visit www.ActiveSchoolsASAP.org for more information.
