$30,000 Grant to Fund Nutrition University Program Supporting Nutrition Education for Children and Their Families; Scholarships Available for 100 Children from Low-Income Families Thanks to Dannon Funding
The Dannon Company, Inc. today awarded Cook Children?s a Dannon Next Generation Nutrition? Grant totaling $30,000 in support of its Nutrition University, a healthy eating and exercise program dedicated to fostering positive lifestyle habits for overweight children. Dannon presented the award during an event in conjunction with the Tax Free Weekend Back to School Expo at North East Mall.
Taught by Cook Children?s registered dietitians, Nutrition University includes nutrition presentations, cooking demonstrations and healthy family dinner nights and encourages yogurt as part of a balanced diet. This year the program will directly serve 600 children and their parents. As part of the award, the Dannon Next Generation Nutrition? Grant will provide scholarships for 100 children who might not otherwise be able to participate in the program.
?Programs like Nutrition University provide an opportunity for youth to learn important nutritional information that will help them build on a healthy future,? said Gayle Binney, Dannon?s corporate responsibility manager. ?For 70 years, Dannon has created great-tasting yogurt that also provides essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and potassium. We couldn?t be prouder to partner with a program like Cook Children?s and to offer scholarship funding for this program to low-income families.?
