WHY WE ARE HERE
OUR PROGRAM
Did you know over one-third of American
youth ages 10-17 are obese or overweight?
Sound Body Sound Mind donates a complete
physical fitness package to schools, including:
• State-of-the-art fitness center
Budget cuts have forced schools to cutback or
eliminate resources for vital physical education
programs, contributing to an increased
number of physically inactive students. We are
combating childhood obesity by providing
educators and schools with fitness resources
and opportunities to help prepare students
for a lifetime of healthy activity.
•
•
Fitness education curriculum
Professional development for
educators
We also provide follow-up support for our
partner schools, including:
• Funds for extracurricular supervision
of the fitness center
• Grants to maintain the fitness center
equipment
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Sound Body Sound Mind
Foundation is to promote self-confidence and
healthy lifestyle choices among our nation’s
youth.
Our History
Established in 1999, the Sound Body Sound
Mind Foundation was founded by Cindy and
Bill Simon. Shocked by the dismal statistics
on youth fitness and childhood obesity, the
Simons took action by donating a state-ofthe-art fitness center to their local Los Angeles
area high school, addressing the lack of fitness
opportunities available to students in their
community. The popularity of the program
lead them to establish the Sound Body Sound
Mind Foundation as a permanent resource for
physical education teachers and schools.
OUR impact
We are pleased to work with over 100 schools
in four states across the nation. Over half
of our fitness centers are located in lowincome communities, where students have
limited access to safe fitness resources. Now
impacting over 100,000 students a year,
Sound Body Sound Mind has contributed over
$3.5 million to enhance physical education
programs in schools since 1999.
