WE’RE HERE
TO HELP.

We're on a mission to ensure every child has a healthy start in life, beginning with proper nutrition and exercise. Through our resources and knowledge, we have the power to make a positive change in the world — right from the first school bell.

We started our first mission by partnering with one elementary school in the Twin Cities. Our objective was bold. Eliminate bleached flour, processed sugar, food coloring, high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives, trans fats and antibiotics/hormones from the lunch menu. While not an easy task, it has been an essential one. In doing so, the Life Time Foundation provided the necessary financial support to make this a reality, offsetting the gap between the existing school budget and the cost of the improved lunch menu.

After a successful year at Deephaven Elementary, we have added three new schools to our lunch program in Chicago, Dallas, and Phoenix this year.

Additionally, in the spirit of supporting an overall healthy way of life, Life Time will also expand exercise programming, to complement the schools' existing nutrition and exercise curricula.

Ultimately, by lending our exercise and nutrition expertise and bringing the financial support necessary to launch this pilot program, we aim to develop a model that, over time, the Life Time Foundation can bring to our 26 markets nationally. It's our goal to influence parents, schools, businesses, government and citizens to make dramatic improvements in the quality of nutrition we're providing our young people. By investing today, we ensure a brighter future for all. Through a series of successful pilots, we intend to present a new model that can be copied and executed by others. We aim to be the agent of change, and know it will take support well above and beyond our direct efforts.
