September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month and the Department of Health is encouraging Americans to use this month to raise awareness about the obesity epidemic and show people how they can take steps toward a solution. Sugga Mommas Girls Club, an organization founded by TV producer and Music Business Consultant Marilyn Cathey, has partnered with the Hartman Park Community Center to create a unique program in Nashville that offers a healthy cooking class for kids, which utilizes fun, food education, and fitness to help change the negative habits of those most likely to be affected by obesity and obesity related diseases. Per the US Department of Health, Tennessee ranks 5th for childhood obesity in the US.

The next step for the group is a Saturday "free" lunch program called "Music and the Kitchen," where neighborhood kids come to sing and move, while enjoying a healthy home cooked lunch!

Event sponsors include InBody + InSpirit, Hollywood Meets Nashville, and Fouche’ Communications.
