Why We Are Doing This Event
We are hosting this event because every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, strong, and full of possibility.
The purpose of this initiative is to:
Fund grants that improve youth nutrition, physical activity, and environmental health.
Partner with school districts nationwide to improve the quality of food children eat every day.
Support programs that help kids discover the joy, confidence, and lifelong benefits of movement.
Create environments where healthy choices are easy, accessible, and sustainable.
At its core, this event exists to invest in children’s health today so they can thrive tomorrow.
