Please Join the Junior League in our Fight to Combat Childhood Obesity One Neighborhood at a Time as We Raise Money for our “Kids in the Kitchen” Project with An Evening of Killer Stand-Up Comedy at the Laugh Factory!
“Kids in the Kitchen” (KITK) is an interactive nutritional program that teaches at-risk children fun fitness activities and easy-to-make healthy recipes! This year, the Junior League of West Hollywood brings its KITK project to Challengers Boys & Girls Club in South Central, LA and we need your help in raising funds to purchase raffle prizes, sporting goods, grocery gift cards, and more for the Challengers kids! Many of these children come from low-income single family households and face serious hurdles to growing up happy and healthy…but you can make a difference by purchasing a $20 ticket for our Laugh Factory charity event on April 6, 2011 from 8 – 9:30 p.m. TO PURCHASE TICKETS, RSVP TO THIS EVENT AND WE WILL CONTACT YOU OR BUY TICKETS FROM US AT THE DOOR
AND if we haven’t convinced you to help yet, here are some sobering statistics about childhood obesity.
• Nearly 40% of children in South LA are overweight and almost 55% are considering physically unfit. Many of these kids lack access to safe places to play and healthy eating options.
• Childhood obesity leads to Type-2 diabetes (one of the nation’s largest health threats), liver disease, asthma, sleep apnea and orthopedic problems.
• Low-income populations are most vulnerable as households without money to buy enough food often have to rely on cheaper, high calorie food to cope with limited budgets.
SO Join us for a mid-week stand up comedy break and raise money for a great cause!
When: April 6, 2011
8:00 - 9:30 p.m.
Where: Laugh Factory
