Apply for Grants to Help Combat Childhood Obesity by Oct. 22
One-third of American children are considered overweight or obese. More than half have at least one cardiovascular risk factor, and childhood obesity often leads to adult obesity, causing continued health issues.
To help improve children's health, UnitedHealthcare and AmeriChoice, two UnitedHealth Group businesses, have joined together in partnership with Youth Service America (YSA) to create UnitedHealth HEROES. UnitedHealth HEROES awards grants up to $1,000 to schools and youth-focused community organizations for projects that children develop for their peers to combat obesity.

Field Trip Grants from Target
Learning opportunities extend far beyond the classroom. But schools are finding it more and more difficult to bring students to museums, historical sites and cultural organizations. Field Trip Grants help give children these unique, firsthand learning experiences.
Since launching the program in 2007, Target has awarded $9.76 million in grants--providing 1.2 million students in all 50 states with the opportunity to enhance their studies in the arts, math, science and social studies.
As part of the program, each Target store will award three Target
Field Trip Grants to K--12 schools nationwide--enabling one in 25 schools
throughout the U.S. to send a classroom on a field trip. Each grant is
valued up to $700. For the Target Field Trip Grant, apply here.
