Mission Statement

Healthy Children Foundation (HCF) exists to eliminate childhood obesity. HCF will provide funds and programming so that all children, regardless of their income or socio-economic status, will lead a healthy, active lifestyle. We want all children to achieve and maintain an improved physical and emotional lifestyle and a more positive self-image and sense of self-worth; we feel these are essential elements for the continuing development of lasting healthy relationships with family, friends, and community.

HCF will educate children, parents, and guardians about health and fitness, and exercise and nutrition educators will provide them with the necessary tools for living a healthier lifestyle, including workshops, discussion seminars, and proven hands-on activities.

HCF will always be motivated by the principle that every child has inherent qualities of importance, beauty, and the capacity to enrich and be enriched by the world in which they live, regardless of race, sex, ethnic heritage, or socio-economic position.

HCF will continue to be motivated by the principle that adults have a moral obligation to secure and promote the welfare and healthy development of children and to provide an environment of acceptance, discipline, affection, and guidance as healthy role models by which children might set their life compasses as they strive to overcome the challenges of life and to achieve the goals that they set for themselves.

HCF will always accept the challenge to be the leader on the frontier of healthy living.
