RWJF Doubles Its Commitment to Helping All Children Grow Up at a Healthy Weight

Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, announced that RWJF will commit $500 million over the next ten years to expand efforts to ensure that all children in the United States can grow up at a healthy weight. Building on a $500 million commitment made in 2007—and on the heels of recent signs of progress —RWJF will have dedicated more than $1 billion to reversing the childhood obesity epidemic. RWJF.org
