County District Attorney
Sam Sutter the second Family
Fitness and Fun Day took place at the UMass-Dartmouth Tripp
Athletic Center on March 17, 2012. Dozens of children and adults
gathered to listen to NBC Television's Biggest Loser contestants Mark
and Jay Kruger and former Red
Sox pitcher Brian Rose, who now works for Sutter, talk about the
importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, which includes plenty of
physical activity. Participants were then divided into groups to
participate in a variety of fun activities, including an obstacle course,
martial arts training, a nutrition and cooking demo and an opportunity to
visit resource tables and the Southcoast
Health Van. Since
2007, Sutter has sponsored a number of free sports clinics, which have
benefited 2,400 children across Bristol County.
