## Story

WILMINGTON, N.C. - Clean Eatz recently launched the Clean Eatz Foundation, with a focus on combatting childhood obesity. The initiative is designed to raise awareness and money toward tackling the growing epidemic. And to officially kick off that mission, Clean Eatz cafes nationwide will be featuring a new limited-time smoothie, Go Bananaz, with a portion of September proceeds going to support the Clean Eatz Foundation.

“We Change Livez. It's our rally cry,” said Evonne Varady, Clean Eatz founder and Co-owner. “This mission is representative of the people behind our brand to a core, as well as the energy that drives our entire franchise concept. More and more, we see a need to extend this focus to some of the youngest members of our Clean Eatz communities – kids. That’s realization is where this campaign first took root.”

Money raised through Clean Eatz Foundation campaigns, like the Go Bananaz Smoothie Drive, is earmarked for positive impact. This includes funding children’s tuition for wellness camps, spearheading scholarships for individuals entering the physical fitness fields, and more.

“We’re excited to honor National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month with this inaugural campaign,” Varady said. “For us, the smoothie drive is a fun way to get people engaged in a very serious topic – the wellbeing of our future generations. It’s the beginning of a much larger discussion, one that we’ll be helping drive through our Foundation in the coming years.”
