WHAT WE BELIEVE

Within every Kentucky child lays a world of potential that we cannot afford to squander to hunger, disease, violence or ignorance. In the face of alarming statistics of childhood obesity, diabetes and hypertension, we have formed a coalition of concerned child advocates, all stakeholders in conquering these systemic epidemics. Our private-public partnership of professional communicators, parents, schools, and corporations is creating a nationally unique social marketing campaign to ensure equal access to health education for young families, emphasizing prevention and wellness through low-cost, no-cost, family-oriented ways to get healthy and stay productive.
