Since 2000, the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) has been bringing people together to find ways to “Get America Moving” and to lead healthy, active lifestyles. National Health Through Fitness Day (NHTF Day) is held each year in early March in Washington, DC. NHTF Day brings sports celebrities, sports & fitness industry leaders, physical education instructors and other health conscious people together to advocate on Capitol Hill to “Get America Moving” to overcome the obesity crisis. NHTF Day promotes in particular the Carol M.
