With support from the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth, Fit4Kids established a coalition of community partners in 2012 to advance programs and policies that prevent childhood obesity.
The coalition includes representatives from government, non-profit organizations, and businesses in Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield. Working together, the coalition aims to assess current levels of childhood obesity in the region and support initiatives to reduce it.
