Make the pledge to develop healthier habits with our youth in 2017!

We are gathering signatures from individuals who are willing to get healthy with the youth in their family! Getting in shape and eating healthy is not an easy task so having family as role modes and support is a necessary motivation. Pledge to get healthy today!

We are also accepting donations for the King Kennedy Community Center. Studies from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), show that the percentage of childhood obesity has tripled since the 1970’s. This has led to numerous cases of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer in our youth communities. As graduating seniors, from Kent State University, we have come to realize the importance of childhood obesity awareness and prevention.

Our goal is to raise $500 dollars for the King Kennedy Community Center (KKCC), located in Ravenna, Ohio. Link is below!:

I have been hearing stories from so many of you about the struggles your own families face regarding nutrition and active living. Seeing these personal accounts reinforces exactly why we need to support the King Kennedy Community Center right now. I am spending my time coordinating with local leaders to ensure these resources reach the kids who need them most.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms how many of you care about the health of our kids as much as I do. We are proving that families want to commit to these habits together and that momentum is exactly what the King Kennedy Community Center needs right now.

My grandkids eat way too much junk food. It scares me honestly. Glad someone is finally doing something about this in Ravenna.

Kids these days are glued to their phones and tablets. Need to get them outside and eating right. Keep up the good work.
