Thanks to a generous donation from The Humana Foundation, we are working to provide critical wellness literacy to more than 140,000 families in Kentucky. Together we are working to ensure that every family has access to the important lessons children need to learn for a lifetime.

According to their website, The Humana Foundation was established in 1981 as the philanthropic arm of Humana Inc., one of the nation's leading health benefits companies. The Foundation is located in Louisville, Kentucky, home to Humana's corporate headquarters. The guiding principles of the Foundation are:

  • We believe that improved health and education provide the greatest opportunities for individuals and society.
  • We have confidence in people and their capacity to change for the better.
  • We recognize the power of technology and actionable information as tools to effect change.
  • When you support effective leaders who are passionate, capable and innovative, wonderful things can happen.

The Kentucky Children’s Health and Fitness Fund is very proud to join forces with The Humana Foundation to ensure a healthy, happy, productive future for all Kentucky kids!
