Lemak Health Invests to Change Outcomes for Kids through the SFM Access Program at Hoover Met Complex

With their gift, Lemak Health has been inducted into the 'Founders Club' of the SFM Access Program. Criteria for children who participate in the SFM Access Program is based on financial need as evidenced by participation in the local school's free and reduced lunch programs. Because of Lemak's generous commitment as a Founding Member, a portion of the 3-year sponsorship agreement will provide those underprivileged kids with opportunities to attend summer camps at Hoover Met Complex at reduced or no cost.

"For many families, sport is a foundational element to character development and sets the stage for a lifetime of physical literacy. Lemak's partnership with Hoover Met Complex and the SFM Access Program will be instrumental in the influence of sport and physical activity for Hoover's youth," says SFM CEO Jason Clement. "Because of their commitment, we have the opportunity to change outcomes for numerous kids and families through the lasting health and social effects of sports participation."

The SFM Access Program is a growing initiative for the facility management firm and gives kids in communities access to sport that wouldn't otherwise be available to them. By opening a door for families who don't have the means to enroll their children in today's competitive "pay-to-play" sports model, SFM is paving the way for a healthier future for children who may otherwise never get the chance to play.
