Classes and Community

Our commitment to the well-being of children goes beyond our walls. We connect with kids, their families and their communities by advocating for child health, offering classes on topics such as potty training and babysitting, and providing low-cost safety and injury-prevention gear.

  • Today, 15% of kids in the U.S. are overweight — and face health problems usually only seen in adults. We’re working to stop this dangerous trend.

  • In 2009, we expect to provide $100 million of medical care to kids whose families are unable to pay for it.

  • Car crashes kill more children than any other kind of injury. Use age- and size-appropriate car seats or booster seats to keep kids safer on the road.

  • Next: Be Well, Be Active
