At the 2026 ¡Vive tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving!™ event, BOUNCE at the University of Houston provided free health education to participants, along with healthy snacks and resources such as MyPlate guidelines.

Attendees enjoyed complimentary yogurt parfaits featuring blueberries, strawberries and healthy toppings. BOUNCE team members showed adults and children how to turn nutritious foods into tasty, everyday snacks the whole family can enjoy.

Children and adults were also encouraged to get moving through an interactive exercise activity. Participants spun a wheel, completed the chosen exercise such as jumping jacks or squats and won a small prize.

BOUNCE showed that healthy eating and exercise can be fun, engaging and easy to incorporate into daily life. The University of Houston BOUNCE initiative empowers Hispanic and African American families to adopt healthy lifestyles, engage in daily exercise, and nurture mental well-being.
