Kickin' It Old School

Multiple studies have shown that exercise can decrease pain and increase range of motion and flexibility in individuals with arthritis. We at the Arthritis Foundation, Rocky Mountain Chapter are embracing that idea and running into left field with it, so to speak. On Saturday, October 10 at the City of Cuernavaca Park we are holding “Kickin’ It Old School,” a kickball tournament fundraiser.

Many of you may remember kickball from your recess days but it is making a comeback among 20- and 30-year-olds across the United States. With this tournament the Arthritis Foundation will not only be raising funds but focusing on raising awareness about our mission and the disease in a demographic that we, as an organization, often miss.

So, dust off those tennis shoes and join us for “Kickin’ It Old School.” You can sign up as team or individually by going to http://KickinItOldSchool.kintera.org/.
