harmful affects are high

The purpose of this campaign is to inform adolescent about the harmful affects of eating bad food and not being active daily.

We want to target children ranging from the age 4-18. Obesity is harmful and it can also affect adults too but to stop it we must tell adolescent about it before they enter adulthood before its too late.

2010, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. The percentage of children aged 6-11 years old in the U.S who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to 18% in 2010 and aged 1219 years who were obese increased from 5% to 18% over the same period.

Our goals is to inform those who are affected and those who are not and to spread the word to others. We also want to inform other states and countries not just the Untied States.

To help us inform people about childhood obesity we will be fund raising to help building a children gym/ activity center. By selling t-shirts and selling tickets for people to run in a obesity awareness race. We will also rent out a local park where we will have fun activity games such as (tag a war, basketball etc.) and giving out health snacks & drinks
