For over 15 years, Healthier Generation has been promoting healthy and equitable environments where young people can achieve life-long good health. We are driven by our commitment to advance proven strategies, community interventions and simple family solutions.

This is more important than ever in a post-COVID world, where the odds of a "healthier generation" have become more challenging. But, schools are the vector for change. That's why we join forces with educators, families and leaders in philanthropy to ignite positive change in communities that may not have the support they need to recover and thrive. Communities know that with Healthier Generation, they don't have to create change alone - we meet them where they are and provide tools they need to improve health inequities - from obesity/overweight, food access and insecurity, mental health and more.

Healthier Generation has the blue-print for action. Our programs and resources build the capacity of thousands of schools and youth-serving organizations support kids and families to eat better, move more and feel well. To date, we've impacted up to 30.8 million children in 52,000 schools, districts, and out-of-school time sites -- 74% in communities experiencing historic disinvestment. As a result of our work, year round, teachers, school staff, students and families are benefiting from better health-promoting practices -- including improved social emotional health and learning, physical activity and nutritious accessible meals.

I appeal to you today as an employee of Healthier Generation. Your financial support in any amount allows us to continue our work. Please make a contribution to this cause that is so near and dear to my heart.
