The event, which is open to the public, will offer a chance to meet former and current NFL players, a kid’s fair, vendors and many more family-friendly activities including bounce houses, face painting, prizes and give-aways.

Omega XL® Caring for Kids Day will include a 5K Race and 1 Mile Fitness Walk that will be kid and dog friendly. Registration for the races begins at 7 a.m. and festivities start at 8 a.m. The event, which is open to the public, will also offer race awards, a chance to meet former and current NFL players, a kid’s fair, vendors and many more family-friendly activities.

“One of the key elements to creating this event was to provide an opportunity to raise money for a worthwhile cause while bringing awareness to children who suffer from the effects of heart conditions,” said Great HealthWorks CEO and Founder Ken Meares,. “The Omega XL Caring for Kids Day will give families a chance to participate in fitness activities and learn about healthy living. We appreciate the NFL Alumni’s efforts and their crusade in Caring for Kids. We believe that passion will make this a special fan event that we hope will become a tradition during the Super Bowl season.”
