CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution ratifying the submittal of a grant application to General Mills Champions for Healthy
Kids for the amount of $10,000 to implement the "Stepping Out Childhood Obesity" Annual
Drill, Dance, Stomp, Step & Drum Competition.
Background:
The General Mills Foundation, in partnership with the American Dietetic Association Foundation
and the President's Council on Physical Fitness developed the Champions for Healthy Kids grant
program in 2002. Since its inception the General Mills Foundation awards 50 grants of$10,000
each to not-for-profit groups that develop creative ways to help youth ages 6 to 17 years develop
both good nutrition and fitness habits. Over the past 11 years the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department has worked to enrich the lives of its youth and families by
enhancing the health and vitality of neighborhoods. The Department addresses both health and
wellness issues through opening its facilities and parks to provide structured activities and
community events led by trained staff, such as:
• Youth Sports
• Nutrition Cooking Classes
• Aerobics
• Westside Steppers Drill Team and Drum Squad
• Stepping Out Childhood Obesity" annual Drill Team& Drum Squad Competition
Innovative programs such as these are not only eligible for consideration but these programs are
also encouraged because of the on-going impact they have on the healthy food choices and
physical activity of community youth highest at risk of being overweight and obese.
Highlighting a Department program and first time special event, a $10,000 grant will allow staff
and the Westside Steppers the opportunity to facilitate the "Stepping Out Childhood Obesity"
Annual Drill, Dance, Stomp, Step & Drum Competition. Drill and drum squads from all over
California will compete in San Bernardino, providing physical activity for participants and
positive exposure for the city.
The grant application submittal deadline was January 16, 2010; staff submitted by this date and is
requesting ratification of the submittal. Staff consistently researches grant opportunities via list
serves, intranet, and publications. The General Mills opportunity was discovered only two weeks
prior to the application due date, prohibiting staff from obtaining Mayor and Common Council
approval prior to submitting.
Financial Impact:
All expenditures are covered by various proposed grant funds. No city in-kind or match required.
Total grant funds being applied for is $10,000 for special event planning and implementation.
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution

Conclusion
Why is this program worthy of a Champions Grant? What makes it unique,
innovative and exemplary?
Note: Do not repeat information shared earlier in the application.
Just as the General Mills Foundation works to enrich the lives of children and
families by enhancing the health and vitality of neighborhoods, so is the mission of
the San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. Since
1890,the department has been a leader in addressing health and wellness issues
through opening its facilities and parks to provide structured activities led by
trained staff.
One way the department enriches the lives of its residents is the development and
implementation of innovative and exemplary programs. One such program is the
"Stepping Out Childhood Obesity"Drill, Dance, Stomp, Step& Drum
Competition.
Reasons program is worthy:
• Attract groups highest at risk of poor nutrition and fitness habits.
• Partners with agencies that have like goals to document changes in youth
and adults nutrition and physical fitness activities.
• Encourages parents/community members to volunteer their time towards
building youth self- esteem and confidence.
• Hosting community event supported by over 500 families and community
members.
We believe the program is innovative and know that it is significantly impacting
the nutrition and fitness levels its youth and families and worthy of Champion
grant.
