This collaboration aims to\u200d encourage physical activity and better nutrition among young people\u2063 across \u200dthe nation.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative,\u200c reminiscent of\u200b the Let&#8217;s Move campaign \u200claunched by former first lady Michelle Obama, involves 14 \u2062sports leagues working closely with President Joe Biden&#8217;s Council on Sports, Fitness, and\u200b Nutrition.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This new partnership was cultivated as part of the White House challenge to end hunger and build \u200dhealthy communities,&#8221; said second gentleman Doug Emhoff\u2062 during a call with reporters. &#8220;It&#8217;s a nationwide call to action that the Biden-Harris \u2064administration launched last \u2062year to\u2063 inspire bold commitments from all sectors of society.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The launch of this partnership will be celebrated at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas and the NBA All-Star Game, with second gentleman\u200c Doug Emhoff attending the latter\u200b event in Indianapolis the following week.<\/p>\n<p>Administration officials emphasized that this initiative\u200c aligns with President Biden&#8217;s commitment to \u200cending hunger and promoting a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve made significant progress in implementing the national strategy on\u2062 hunger, nutrition, and health,&#8221; stated Neera Tanden, director of the U.S. \u200dDomestic Policy Council. &#8220;For instance, we collaborated with Congress to establish a bipartisan, permanent national summer electronic benefits transfer for children program.
