“The Foundation focuses on the life-destroying epidemic of childhood obesity in an effort to help fulfill our larger mission—helping children live happy and healthy lives,” said Whitney Strauss, Executive Director of the AdvoCare Foundation. “We are fortunate to have many donors who are committed to our mission and continue to help the Foundation make a lasting impact on children’s lives.”
The AdvoCare Foundation is making a difference in these communities by attacking three main pillars of childhood obesity: daily physical activities, nutritional education, and access to adequate food.
