Our Mission: To reduce the prevalence of childhood obesity
and to empower kids nationwide to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Reach & Impact
Childhood obesity has almost tripled
in children and adolescents in the past 30 years.
Today about one out of three children
and adolescents (ages 2-19) in the United States is overweight or obese, putting them at risk for
serious health problems.
Research shows a strong link between a young person’s practice of healthy habits, including
a good diet and regular physical activity, and an
improvement in their overall life outcomes.
