Today's kids are growing up in a very different world from a generation ago. Family structures have changed, with more parents working full time. Millions of kids go unsurpervised for hours a day, watching TV, playing video games or computer surfing. Combining this seditary lifestyle with the wrong kinds of food results in overweight kids. Obesity among children has quadrupled over the last 25 years in the US. It is estimated that today, 30% of kids age 6-11, are overweight or obese. Kids are spending more time indoors and have less access to nature and wild lands. We think this is a crisis and we're doing something about it.
HEALTHY, HAPPY CHILDREN Kids who have fun in the outdoors are healthier, intellectually stimulated, socially more adjusted, have more concern for their playground (stewardship).
MAKING A DIFFERENCE YOLF pools donor dollars and invests annually in the non profit organizations that are really making a difference in the lives of kids.
