Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter expanded his offerings of free sports activities to add a Family Fitness and Fun Day at the UMass-Dartmouth Tripp Athletic Center on March 19, 2011 in which over 250 people participated. Introduced by NBC Television's Biggest Loser contestants Mark and Jay Kruger and emceed by former Red Sox pitcher Brian Rose, who now works for Sutter, the four-hour session included a Zumba warm-up, sports fun with UMass head coaches, an obstacle course with the UMass Fitness Team, nutrition and cooking demonstrations and health screening provided by Saint Anne's Hospital. "I've become a huge believer in the value of physical fitness as I get older," commented Sutter, who plans to hold similar events throughout Bristol County in the coming months. Since 2007, Sutter has sponsored a number of free sports clinics, which have benefited 2,400 children across Bristol County. Click here for the Taunton Gazette article.
