Kids deserve healthy schools.
Schools that teach them to make healthy choices in their daily
lives, and provide support and encouragement every step of the way.
Simply put, a healthy child has fewer absences, learns better, and
is less likely to develop weight-related diseases later in life.
CATCH Global Foundation is a non-profit organization
whose mission is to provide underserved schools and communities
the resources necessary to create and sustain healthy change for
future generations. The school-based CATCH program is the
most cost-effective program proven to prevent childhood
obesity(1) – $10 provides CATCH for
another low-income kid for an entire year and $5,000 sets up a whole
new school. CATCH is also used by some of the largest districts
around the country including, Dallas Independent School District and
Chicago Public Schools. See some CATCH Promise districts spotlighted
here.
We need your help to help us bring these life-changing health programs to students across the country. By making a donation - 100% of which will go directly to mission funding - you are creating a healthier future for thousands of children in communities with wide health disparities across the country.
Spotlight
A portion of the donations provided will bring CATCH school
health programming to more New York City Title 1 Public Schools,
some of the most historically underserved schools in the nation.
Everyone is involved from district administration, to teachers,
food service staff, and parents. The biggest impact is made when we
all work
together – and you can help!
