Freedom to Run and Play
WE WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY
We’ve seen the effects of unhealthy lifestyles – poor mental health, bullying, lowered academic performance, less social interaction and play, and reduced life expectancy. The AdvoCare Foundation is committed to helping children live safe, happy and healthy lives. Join us.
WHAT’S FUELING THE PROBLEM?
Our children's lives have become more sedentary
With the rise in access to sedentary forms of entertainment like movies and video games, and the decline of opportunities to get our children moving, we’re enabling an inactive lifestyle in our youth.
Absence of Nutrition Education
Among classes where nutrition is taught, elementary students only receive 3.4 hours of food and nutrition education each year. This lack of knowledge leads to poorer food choices at school and at home.
1 out of 5 children do not have access to adequate food
More than 15 million children in the U.S. experience food insecurity each year when families have limited access to nutritious food.
