A new partnership between Healthway and Little Athletics WA will promote the Go for 2&5 healthy eating message to thousands of young athletes aged between six and 17 and their families.
The partnership will also support increased availability of healthy food and drink choices at Little Athletics WA events across 85 clubs, 8,700 participants and 35 event centres across the State.
Go for 2&5 promotes eating two serves of fruit and five of vegetables each day as a guide for good health.
As part of the sponsorship, the Little Athletics WA community will be provided with information about healthy eating that they can use and circulate throughout their clubs.
Young athletes and their families will be encouraged to contribute to a healthy snack recipe book and a healthy pre-competition meal recipe book which will be distributed State-wide.
Nearly all (99 per cent) of Healthway-sponsored organisations now have healthy food choices available at their events as part of sponsorship arrangements.
