  • War on Poverty -- $100,000 -- research a comprehensive community awareness and engagement campaign with residents, schools, churches, child care centers, restaurants, grocers, and governmental agencies in Northwest Jacksonville to improve children's access to active living and nutritious food that lead to healthy weight and lifestyles.

    • "Putting resources toward improving the health and well-being of our children by focusing on basic health and nutrition needs is a smart investment in our children's future," said Susan Towler, executive director, The Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida. "By combining resources in partnership with community groups and public agencies we can effectively create an environment in Florida where children have the best start in developing healthy eating and active lifestyle habits."
