The Pittsburgh Chapter of Links implemented the national Links effort: Project Walking Fete to provide healthy living speakers and sponsor a poster contest to area students.

They worked with the Urban League Charter School and the Neighborhood Academy during the month of March. Speakers addressed the students at their schools and the poster contest encouraged kids to create visual representations of healthy living through walking or other physical activity.

WINNERS FROM BOTH SCHOOLS
