UnitedHealthcare Donates Hasbro’s NERF ENERGY Game Kits to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Charlotte

  • This initiative, a collaboration between Hasbro and
    UnitedHealthcare, aims to help reduce youth obesity through the
    donation of a limited-release game, “exergaming” and health education

CHARLOTTE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UnitedHealthcare and Hasbro gave 150 children the gift of “exergaming”
earlier today by donating NERF ENERGY Game Kits to Boys & Girls Clubs of
Greater Charlotte.


Part of a national initiative between Hasbro and UnitedHealthcare to
encourage kids to increase physical activity, the kits feature Hasbro’s
NERF products that are designed to encourage young people to become more
active through “exergaming.”

Each kit includes a NERF ENERGY Game Band, a NERF PRO FOAM soccer ball
and instructions to download the NERF ENERGY RUSH mobile game to get
kids moving. As children participate in physical activity, they earn
“energy points” that are tracked by the activity band, and these points
turn into screen time to play the mobile game on a smartphone or tablet.

UnitedHealthcare is delivering a total of 10,000 NERF ENERGY Game Kits
this year to elementary schools and community organizations across the
country, enabling children ages six to 12 to receive the kits at no cost.
