Vote Now To Support Dick Stockton’s Blue Sky Foundation

Health Mart Pharmacy has recognized Dick Stockton and the Blue Sky Foundation, located in Wellington, as a finalist in the Health Mart Champions of Care Challenge.

Health Mart is giving the public the opportunity to vote online for this community health hero. As a winner, the Blue Sky Foundation has the opportunity to receive up to $30,000 in grant awards.

The Blue Sky Foundation’s mission is to bring the game of tennis to children who might not have access to the game or the ability to pay. Stockton, who reached the Wimbledon semifinals, and other qualified coaches and mentors encourage positive youth development through sports programs that encourage physical fitness and offer certified educational curriculums.

The Blue Sky Foundation and its staff are committed to physical fitness and ending childhood obesity by providing mentoring, team play, tournaments and nutritional guidance.

Through the “Thanking Our Troops Through Tennis” program, world class tennis players bring a wealth of tennis knowledge to service personnel, veterans and their families at military installations throughout the country. The goal is to insure that all participants maintain a healthy lifestyle through tennis and nutritional education.

From March 17 through March 23, there will be online voting to choose who will continue to the final round. Visit www.healthmartcommunity.com to vote.

“Every vote I receive gets my community one step closer to being a healthier place, something that matters so much to me”, Stockton said. “Please encourage your friends and neighbors to vote and spread the word through social media, because every vote counts.”

The Blue Sky Foundation creates tennis ambassadors who will make healthy choices for themselves and encourage friends, families and people in their communities to make positive changes through tennis, education, sports training and sustainable nutritional programs.
