The second keystone of the Foundation’s giving and passion is to invest in the health of at-risk children, youth and families. Recent reports show a continued decline in healthy lifestyle choices, especially among the youth. With a focus on preventative health, the goal of this program area is to reduce obesity through the promotion of better nutrition and exercise.

The Foundation makes priority for this funding in the following areas:

• Youth centers, clubs and camps – providing opportunities for kids to learn important life skills in fun environments
• Health & human service programs – providing quality care and treatment for individuals living within the local community that are most at-risk

Examples of a successful grant awarded in this program area.
