NEW YORK, April 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded in 2006 by former National Football League player Mo Lewis, the Student Athlete Life Enhancement (SALE) officially launched its "Obesity Must Go" program initiative on April 14, 2012 in the state of Georgia. 

The All Pro New York Jets veteran said, "It is our belief that if given an atmosphere that encourages stability, content quality of life and self development, students are better able to strengthen cognitive reasoning skills, explore positive life-alternatives and better problem solve in the future."  The SALE program provides a platform for elementary and high school students promoting achievement in academics, athletics, and fitness.
