Healthy Eating

With childhood obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure on the rise, showing young people how to exercise, stay fit and eat healthy – all while having fun – is a passion for us.

Healthy Aquatics Swimming Program

Drowning is a leading cause of death in youth. Swimming lessons reduce the risk of drowning by 88%. In 2016, we partnered with the USA Swimming Foundation and DeKalb Aquatics to facilitate our program, affording over 300 youth the opportunity to learn how to swim. Learning to swim is not just fun way to get fit, it’s a life skill. In the fall of 2017, we added a lifeguard certification program.

Healthy Hearts for Hip Hop

Joining forces with schools and communities, we make high-energy cardio programs engaging and enjoyable through the use of hip-hop. We stress the importance of being active and having fun.

Healthy Thinking

Our goal is to develop socially responsible youth and young adults through seminars and media campaigns that focus on on social issues, awareness and prevention.

Earth Day

Earth Day is a special day we celebrate our planet and learn how to take care of it. It's a time to think about how we can help the environment by reducing waste, planting trees, and protecting wildlife. The Foundations partners with schools and communities to organize fun activities, like planting gardens, visiting farms and clean up events to inspire our youth to be more eco-friendly. It's all about working together to keep our Earth healthy for future generations!.
