Message from CAHPERD President-Elect

Hello CAHPERD Members!  Did you know that your gently worn sneakers could help CAHPERD? Well, they can, and here’s how…Our team is participating in a fundraiser where there is nothing to buy or sell; All we need is your support and gently worn, used, or new sneakers! Here’s how you can help: Start in your closets and gather as many pairs of sneakers that you no longer want; maybe you’ve outgrown them, they’re out of style, or out of season. You can ask your neighbors, friends, co-workers, and anyone in your social networks to help out. SNEAKERS ONLY and Every pair counts! The sneakers that we all collect will help raise money to support our program AND will help our environment by keeping sneakers out of landfills. Can we count on you? Bring as many pairs of sneakers as you no longer want to the 2023 CAHPERD Conference, March 9-11, 2023! There will be collection bags by the registration table. Please help us fill those bags!  Too many sneakers to bring with you? No problem! You can still support our Sneaker Drive by registering with GotSneakers at https://gotsneakers.com/individual-sellers/ and registering as an individual seller, include our name “CAHPERD” and our registered email: reception@cahperd.org on the form, so we get credit for your sneakers!  They will send you a bag with a prepaid shipping label! Once you register with GotSneakers, you can start cleaning out your closets! Fill up at least one (1) full sneaker collection bag (10-15 pairs). If you want to take your sneaker recycling efforts to the next level, fill up all five (5) sneaker collection bags! If you want to continue to support our fundraiser campaign, contact support@gotsneakers.com to request more bags! Help us keep sneakers out of landfills while supporting CAHPERD! Thank you for your support!  Kathy Russell CAHPERD President-Elect

What's up Doc?

Happy New Year! Many of us begin each year with new ambitions and resolutions. For CAHPERD the beginning of the year means increased preparations for the Annual State Conference. We have a great conference planned with some great sessions. The conference planning team has been working hard for months to plan a fun and educational conference. We began a membership outreach drive to past members who have not renewed in several years. Our fundraising events have created some much-needed funds. Remember to sign up for health.moves.minds to also help your program and CAHPERD. Lastly, be sure to get all of your Amazon Smiles ordering in since Amazon is discontinuing the program in February. Lastly, help us spread the word with events, and posting via social media. Brent Powell, Ph.D., CHES Organizational Director Director@cahperd.org What's up Doc? is a section written personally by Organizational Director Brent Powell, to inform readers about a variety of topics within each newsletter.
