TL;DR
The Clean Eatz Foundation is working to combat childhood obesity through various campaigns and partnerships, including a smoothie fundraiser and a partnership with a health and wellness summer camp. The foundation has raised $45,000 and plans to help pay for college tuition for students entering health and wellness-related fields.
The Clean Eatz Foundation is on a mission to raise awareness and money for efforts combating childhood obesity. Funds are raised through a series of nationwide campaigns and initiatives, and earmarked for purposes meant to further the foundations mission.
After raising $45,000 at their annual franchise conference late last year, a partnership was formed with Camp Pocono Trails, a health and wellness summer camp, wherein Clean Eatz financed the camp fees for 10 kids from around the country. And this month marks the foundation’s 2nd annual Go Bananaz smoothie campaign; a month-long fundraiser that commits a portion of sales from the limited-edition smoothie to the foundation’s efforts, which in 2025 will include helping to pay for the college tuition of five different students entering into health and wellness-related fields of study.
“America’s youth have historically been a demographic left out of the conversation when it comes to dietary habits, health risks of improper nutrition, and obesity. To see that reality flipped little by little through each of our foundation’s initiatives makes me incredibly hopeful in the possibility of a more health-conscious future,” said Evonne Varady, Co-founder of Clean Eatz. “The new efforts we have planned ahead will only further that, and just in time to kick off National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month in a couple of weeks.”
The success and impact of the foundations campaigns and partnerships each serve as a significant springboard for future endeavors targeting childhood obesity.
