The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF) is a broad-based, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to help reduce obesity, especially childhood obesity, by encouraging positive and permanent lifestyle changes among school-aged children and their families. The Foundation develops and implements innovative and collaborative educational, marketplace and community solutions with its coalition of 300 corporate and not-for-profit partners.
Through its free, award-winning Together Counts™ healthy lifestyle school curriculum, the Foundation has reached more than 47.9 million students.
As the first commitment to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative and verified by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the HWCF’s food and beverage company members gave consumers more lower-calorie options by removing 6.4 trillion calories from their products—surpassing their pledge by more than 400% three years ahead of schedule.
