New York, New York

Cause Description:
The SWEET ENUFF Movement is a youth outreach organization that supports kids living with, at risk, or affected by diabetes and childhood obesity. Our programs combine hip-hop dance fitness with health and life coaching to create a new culture of health that is fun, educational, and empowering. We work with local schools to develop an in-school or after-school program suited to each school’s needs. We bring in certified health coaches, certified life coaches, and professional chefs to discuss the importance of exercise and diet and to link healthy lifestyle choices to kids’ long term goals and ambitions. And, then, we dance. Using the guidelines of the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, we encourage the kids in our program to get one hour of physical exercise a day. We bring in professional dance instructors and choreographers to lead our kids in some high-energy hip-hop dance fitness. The program culminates with a performance/battle. Students get to show off their new dance skills and present their own solutions to the obesity and diabetes epidemic.
