The Need for B2B Kids Foundation:
Back 2 Basics Kids Foundation, Inc. is seeking partners and community sponsors who believe in our mission. By becoming a sponsor, you will help make a difference in the lives of thousands of at-risk. In Georgia, 17.5% of parents surveyed believed that their children did not live in supportive neighborhoods, which actually served to be higher than the national average (The Data Resource for Child and Adolescent Health, 2007).
When children are not regularly exposed to activities that will aid in their development, they frequently have the ability to become “at-risk,” in which they are at an increased susceptibility rate in which they will fail (this includes everything from dropping out of school, 46% of students in Atlanta's urban communities alone dropped out of high school
in 2008. (EPE Research Center, 2008) or engaging in criminal behavior, suffering from teen pregnancy, etc.).
Health & Fitness (Asthma) Awareness:
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center report that 20 percent of children with asthma do not get enough exercise, even though physical activities such as running and playing basketball have been shown to decrease the severity of asthma symptoms. For many people (adults included) the best defense against exercise-related asthma is an inhaler filled with albuterol or pirbuterol. Once your children controls asthma on the basketball court, the more confidence he/she will have to control it the rest of their life.
37.3% of Georgia's children (ages 10-17) are considered overweight or obese, which is significantly higher than the national average of 31.6% (National Survey of Children's Health 2008)
During the 2009-2010 year, B2B Kids Foundation’s programs are projected to serve over 1,500 children annually. We graciously accept monetary and/or in-kind donations. Your donation will help provide a healthy alternative to the aforementioned statistics and will help bring health & fitness awareness directly to our youth.
