Mission: Beyond monumental is organized with the following core goals: - educating indianapolis youth about the benefits of exercise, proper diet and healthy living. - combating community deterioration (see continuation on schedule o) and juvenile deliquency by promoting health, physical fitness, and wellness in the indianapolis community. - utilizing proceeds from health-themed events, specifically an annual marathon, to fund charities whose missions are consistent with the other purposes of this organization.
Programs: Beyond monumental provides the indianapolis community with a complement of activities built around our premier event that promotes healthy lifestyles for all ages (both runners and walkers). The organization gives back to the indianapolis community by supporting youth programming that reinforces healthy lifestyles for young people, with an emphasis on working with urban students and ips. The 2017 monumental kids movement saw an increase in participating schools, participants, and graduates. With 61 participating schools, over 2500 students took part in the program that saw 1,739 graduates participate in the 5k. (see continuation on schedule o)along with the successful growth in participation, the program saw improvement in the students' aerobic capacity. A multi-stage running capacity test, was conducted on the students at the beginning and end of the program. The program also works kids to establish healthy eating habits. A survey was conducted on over 725 students at the start and finish of the program. The results showed increased consumption of fruits and vegetables and decrease in consumption of sodas.
