“Obesity has now reached epidemic levels for children in the United States and that’s why the AdvoCare Foundation has dedicated more than $1.5 million over the past 6 years to help children and families live happy and healthy by providing education, exercise and nutritional support,” said Whitney Strauss, Executive Director of the AdvoCare Foundation. “With generous donations from AdvoCare and its independent distributors, we have been able to make an impactful difference in children’s health across the country.”
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.
To support the AdvoCare Foundation, you can purchase Spark® Strawberry between November 8-12,2021, or head to the AdvoCare Foundation website. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Spark® Strawberry will support the AdvoCare Foundation grantees.
