The Southeast Tulsa Rotary Club held its annual FitFest on Saturday.

The event was held at the OU - Tulsa Schusterman Center in the 4500 block of East 41st Street from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Activities included the President's Fitness Challenge for kids aged 6 to 12, a one-mile Family Fun Run/Walk, an Inflatable Zone for Kids, Healthy Food Choices, and bicycle giveaways from Bikes for Tykes.

"Obesity is a problem with our children," said Southeast Tulsa Rotary Club representative Victoria Bartlett. "What I say to children is that I'm giving them homework, and their homework is they need to go outside and play."

The FitFest also featured health screenings and a blood drive.

Proceeds will benefit the OU Tulsa Community Medicine Clinics and the Southeast Tulsa Rotary Foundation, helping meet wellness needs in Tulsa and around the world.

The Rotary Club of Southeast Tulsa is known for its fellowship and its dedication to service. The club's many projects include Organ Donor Awareness and Roy Clark Elementary Adopt-a-School.

The club is composed of a diverse group of men and women dedicated to Rotary's motto, Service Above Self.
