McDonald's invites Celtics star to visit recent Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Eastern New England grant recipient Warwick Boys & Girls Club
WARWICK, R.I. (March 16, 2004) -- Young people at the Warwick Boys & Girls Club received some valuable tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle today from Boston Celtics captain Paul Pierce and representatives from McDonald's and Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Eastern New England.
Joining more than 80 local children at Warwick Boys & Girls Club were: Pierce; President of RMHC of Eastern New England and McDonald's Owner/Operator Charlie Winterhalter and local McDonald's Owner/Operator Jim Cooper.
The Celtics star spoke with the Warwick Boys & Girls Club members ranging in age from 7-17, sharing examples of healthy living from his own personal training regimen, including tips on eating right and staying in shape.
"Everyone – not just athletes – needs to learn about the value of leading a healthy lifestyle," Pierce said. "No matter your age or occupation, you can't perform your best if you do not take care of your body. I want to thank McDonald's for doing its part to spread the word about the importance of proper nutrition and exercise."
"McDonald's and RMHC of Eastern New England are proud to partner with the Celtics and Paul Pierce to teach local youth about the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle," Winterhalter said.
The Boston Celtics organization has teamed up with McDonald's to improve the lives of children and families throughout the region.
