The Foundation and General Mills Foundation celebrated 10 years of funding the Champions for Healthy Kids program. To mark the anniversary, 10 "best of the best" legacy award recipients were selected from previous Champions for Healthy Kids grantees. Each program was awarded $50,000 to continue their proven programming to improve nutrition and physical fitness behaviors among youth. Champions for Healthy Kids provides grants to nonprofits, schools and community organizations to develop creative ways to help kids of all ages incorporate physical fitness and good nutrition into their daily lives.
