We want to work together to make Kane County the best place it can be to raise a healthy family. Why? Too many of our children are overweight.
Making Kane County Fit for Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization promoting healthy eating and active living for children in Kane County through community wellness partnerships. Children born today may live shorter, less healthy lives than their parents and grandparents! Across Kane County, 1 out of 5 kids is overweight. In some Kane communities that number is an even more alarming 1 out of 3!
