Healthy Fridays at WOW! Children's Museum

The Idea

In Boulder we may be fit, but our kids are not. The childhood obesity rate in Colorado is 14%. Support our Healthy Fridays proposal and let’s turn the tide. Healthy Fridays will contain bi-monthly events that present diverse knowledge on healthy living to Boulder County families.

The Specifics

The event topics will include healthy eating, exercise, gardening, injury prevention and fire safety. WOW! consistently works with local organizations on programming that benefits Boulder County communities. GOOD will make it possible for WOW! to strengthen partnerships with organizations like Food, Family, Farming and initiate and develop meaningful relationships with flagship organizations like Children’s Hospital Colorado. WOW! has a history of recognizing community needs and addressing them through collaborative programs. Museums are ideal platforms for bringing positive social change to communities through engaging means and WOW! aims to use Healthy Fridays as a platform for positive social change through healthy living in Boulder.
