“ABOUT OLLI NOW
Olli Now IS A NATIONAL NONPROFIT THAT IS ENDING CHILDHOOD OBESITY IN AMERICA.
Olli Now’s goal is to end childhood Obesity in America. Working with others, we believe we can do this by 2018.
It’s not enough to make sure America’s children have enough exercise; we must make sure they are getting the nutrition they need to live healthy, active lives.
That is why Olli Now’s highest priority is to make sure that every child in America gets the nutritious food he or she needs to learn, grow and thrive. We are doing this by improving the access that families all across the country have to healthy, affordable food, education, fitness programs and camps for kids by working at the state and city level. This is our Kids Play For LIfe strategy, and it has four key components that, together, provide children with the nutritious food, programs and camps they need where they live, learn and play:
Creating public-private partnerships at the state and city level to map out comprehensive, measurable plans to end childhood obesity in those areas.
Building public awareness about the problem of childhood obesity and solutions to end it.
Investing in communities with grants to organizations whose work improves access to nutritious foods, health programs and fitness camps.
Educating children and families about nutritious, affordable eating and living habbits.”-http://www.ollinow.org/index.html
