Newsweek reporter Susan Brink (2006) expressed it well when she said, "PE4life is for any kid who has been picked last, consigned to right field, or left dangling half-way up the climbing rope. The idea is to get away from the jock culture—the fastest, strongest, and most athletic—and instead start all kids on the road to lifelong fitness."
The Titusville School District considered children's health important enough to invest $30,000 in the middle school PE program. This initial funding allowed the program to finance equipment for a new Wellness Center.
