July 2012 - June 2013 Annual Report
Leading the Way for Children’s Health
Advancing a Healthier Agenda 2013 was a very exciting time for me to join the Alliance for a Healthier Generation as its new Chief Executive Officer. For the first time in three decades, we are starting to see some data indicating that, for some populations in some states and localities, the incredibly high rates of child obesity are starting to decline. The declines are modest and, for the most part, not evident in the populations at highest risk. However, after two decades of consistent increases in child obesity rates, followed by a number of years in which the rates stayed flat, any declines are a cause for celebration. After celebrating, we need to get back to work. In order to avoid catastrophic public health and economic consequences, we must dramatically reduce our current high rates of child obesity. And we need to do it across all populations.
scientist, I’ve long admired the Alliance’s sciencebased, multi-component approach that builds the capacity of key social institutions to transform the environments in which our children live, learn and play. As this annual report will clearly demonstrate, the Alliance’s visionary leadership in child obesity prevention led to many remarkable accomplishments in the past year: • The Alliance made enormous progress in its strategic goal of activating four key societal

systems: schools, out-of-school-time programs, healthcare and industry. • The Healthy Schools Program continued to grow as the nation’s largest in-school obesity prevention network. Extraordinary new partnerships and generous grants paved the way for what was the largest year of growth in the program’s history. There are more than 18,000 participating schools creating healthy campuses where kids can learn more and flourish.

Nearly 1 in 3 children in the U.S. is overweight or obese
33% • The Alliance’s innovative Healthy Out-of-School Time initiative also saw dramatic growth. We’re pioneering healthy improvements in the foods, beverages and physical activity offered to millions of children before and after school. And our Healthier Generation Benefit is giving more than 2.7 million kids access to dietary counseling and obesity-related medical visits. • Finally, new agreements with large food companies are expanding healthy, affordable food options to students. All of the Alliance’s programs are carefully evaluated, so we can understand their impact and contribute to the science base for child obesity prevention. Moving forward, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation remains resolute in its pursuit of a multifaceted, holistic approach to ending childhood obesity. The Alliance is well poised to achieve its goal to support more than 30,000 schools across the nation as they transform into healthier places; to increase access to healthier foods and physical activity for tens of thousands of youth in out-of-school time settings; to extend healthcare benefits related to the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity to millions of children; and to continue working with companies to make healthier choices the easier choices for kids and families. With support from our board of directors and founding organizations, and with your ongoing investment and collaboration, we can make the environments in which our children live, learn and play healthier places. We can reverse the child obesity epidemic and make the next generation a healthier generation. Sincerely,
Dr. Howell Wechsler Chief Executive Officer

Healthy Schools
18,000 schools in all 50 states creating healthier environments (as of June 2013)
Healthy Schools Program Experiences Unprecedented Growth From July 2012 to June 2013, the number of schools participating in the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Healthy Schools Program increased by 27 percent. As of June 2013, more than 18,000 participating schools are serving 11 million students across the country. The program’s rapid growth was largely Obama’s Let’s Move! Program and by several new grants that enabled the Alliance to significantly expand the work of its Healthy Schools Program. Schools enrolled in the Healthy Schools Program have access to national experts, onsite and virtual training, professional development opportunities, a customer support center, and online resources and tools. This support guides schools through a 6-step improvement process to create healthier school environments. Schools that are implementing a large portion of the Alliance’s best practice criteria are honored at the annual Healthy Schools Program Forum in Little Rock, Ark. At the October 2012 Forum, Alliance co-founder President Bill Clinton stood alongside partners from the American Heart Association and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to laud 251 high-performing schools for becoming healthier places for students to learn and staff to work.

In addition, President Clinton shared promising findings from the first peer-reviewed evaluation of the Healthy Schools Program. Key findings, some of which were published in the CDC’s Preventing Chronic Diseases journal: • Many schools with predominantly low-income student populations succeeded in improving their health-related policies and practices, demonstrating that all schools can make changes aimed at creating a healthier environment. • Training and professional development hasten the implementation of key school-based practices and policies to encourage regular physical activity and better nutrition. • There are promising indications that when schools

Leading the Way to a Healthier Generation: Healthy Schools
Let’s Move! Active Schools uses the Alliance’s proven six-step continuous improvement process for making incremental practice and policy changes. In addition, the Alliance’s Web-based tools and resources help the schools to increase student physical activity levels. This approach resulted in more than 3,300 schools signing up to get moving through June 2013. The First Lady has called on school staff, families and communities to work together to reach an ambitious goal of engaging 50,000 schools in this program over the next five years. New Grants Fuel School Growth The Alliance’s Healthy Schools Program was the recipient of a significant new grant from Kaiser Permanente of $5.3 million. Combined with a $7.4 million received last year from the JPB Foundation, the Healthy Schools Program was able to expand into new regions such as South Dakota, Hawaii and the Navajo Nation, while intensifying outreach and support in existing markets. The funding supports implementation and external evaluation of the Healthy Schools Program in the new regions. The evaluation components are designed to examine program implementation and the effectiveness of the Healthy Schools Program as an obesity prevention program, and to better understand how to support schools as they implement improvements in school nutrition, physical activity and staff wellness. Leaders Pave the Way in Schools Nationwide The Alliance for a Healthier Generation recognizes that the success of its Healthy Schools Program in any school is usually driven by a “champion” or school leader known as a Healthy Schools Program Ambassador. This might be a superintendent, principal, physical education or health teacher, child nutrition director or parent. The Alliance honored 18 such leaders from across the country for their diligence in improving access

were released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in June 2013. When the nutrition standards are implemented for the 2014-15 school year, it will be the first time schools across the nation will be required to offer only healthy food and beverage choices. The USDA standards are closely aligned with the Competitive Foods and Beverage Guidelines that the Alliance developed in 2006 to improve the nutritional quality of school meals, as well as the items sold in vending machines, a la carte lines (items sold individually in the cafeteria) and school stores. Since 2006, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation has worked with thousands of schools to successfully implement these science-based nutrition guidelines. They focus on the promotion of nutrient-rich foods including fat-free and low-fat dairy products and placed limits on calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar and sodium. In addition, the Alliance’s landmark agreements with food and beverage companies to improve the nutritional quality of what they sell to schools helped make it feasible for USDA to adopt its standards. Getting more than 100,000 schools across the nation to implement the USDA standards will be challenging, but the Alliance stands ready to assist USDA with its unparalleled experience and expertise in helping schools improve their nutrition environments.

Working with Communities 155 out-of-school time providers encouraging kids to eat better and move more (as of June 2013)
Spreading Good Health to the Out-of-School Time Sector The Alliance is committed to supporting out-of-school time providers through our Healthy Out-of-School Time Framework to create healthier conditions by improving nutrition and physical activity and engaging youth in the process. The Walmart Foundation supported the Alliance for a Healthier with a two-year, $1.5 million grant that led to a major expansion in sites receiving training and technical assistance. Out-of-school time sites include afterschool programs, community centers, summer camps and faith-based programs. The grant allowed the Alliance to expand field staff in eight metropolitan areas to help out-of-school time programs increase children’s access to nutritious snacks and meals and meaningful opportunities to engage in physical activity. The number of out-of-school time sites served by Alliance technical assistance providers increased from 30 to more than 150. With partners like Walmart, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation is working to create long-term capacity in outof-school time settings across the nation to implement the National AfterSchool Association’s Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Standards. An additional component of the Walmart funding was an investment in building a HOST website where participating out-of-school time sites can access the HOST framework and other supporting tools and online resources.
" The Alliance’s Healthy Out-of-School Time Framework combines science and action into a great package that will help kids develop into healthy, happy, caring adults. One of the most important things we can do is help youth make healthy choices for themselves and their communities.

Striving for Impact at the Doctor’s Office 2.7 million children across the country accessing healthcare benefits (as of June 2013)
Insurance Redesign Benefits Kids Until recently, most healthcare professionals have been unable to work with families around the prevention, assessment and treatment of childhood obesity. That changed when the Alliance for a Healthier Generation
The Alliance’s Healthier Generation Benefit includes more than 22 companies working with 56,000 providers offering the health services benefit to more than 2.7 million kids. The Alliance introduced the benefit in 2009 as a critical strategy to changing the way the healthcare industry prevented and treated childhood obesity. Youth who are covered by the benefit have access to at least four annual visits with a primary care provider and at least four annual visits with a registered dietitian. From its inception, the Healthier Generation Benefit has been evaluated by researchers at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health to ensure its utilization and effectiveness. Recent findings indicate that the benefit has been successful in expanding healthcare coverage for obesity services, with all participating organizations being able to implement and offer the coverage. Also, the benefit was described as an innovative way to address childhood obesity by the National Business Group on Health, the Bipartisan Policy Council on Health Affairs and in a special edition of The Journal of Obesity.
" The Healthier Generation Benefit is groundbreaking in that the findings are relevant to many preventive health goals and can be used to improve the effectiveness of future efforts to promote preventive care through insurance redesign.

Alliance for a Healthier Generation refreshed its brand identity and website to broaden its reach and engagement with key audiences. The redesign also enabled the Alliance to provide higher-quality online support for parents and stakeholders leading obesity prevention programs in their communities. Market research leading up to the re-branding confirmed that the Alliance’s stakeholders value its high-quality programs and services, ability to be nimble and collaborative spirit. The Alliance used this valuable information to create a new, contemporary brand.
In addition, several cause marketing efforts were launched to increase the awareness of our brand and raise funds for the cause.

As the only youth-led advisory group in the country focused on childhood obesity issues, the board embodies the Alliance’s strong belief that young people play a crucial role in engaging and educating their peers and in creating healthier communities. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation relies on the Youth Advisory Board to share thoughts and ideas with the organization on how best to inspire young people to make healthy behavior changes and become leaders and advocates for healthy eating and physical activity.

Youth Advisory Board
Live Well Omaha Go Teams Alliance for a Healthier Generation Youth Advisory Board member Akansha Jain, a high school senior from Omaha, Neb., dedicated her time to creating an active and healthy living awareness campaign for her service learning project called Live Well Omaha Go Teams. With the help of her peers, Akansha increased awareness about childhood obesity and how to combat this national epidemic in the greater Omaha region. They partnered with several afterschool programs and community groups to speak with over 300 younger kids and engage in fun and interactive activities that included nutrition education and physical activity. Key partners included community organizations like the Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, and Girls Inc., as well as parents, teachers and school administrators.
Grow to Give Alliance for a Healthier Generation Youth Advisory Board member Bobby Sena, a 10 year-old from Orlando, Fla., focused his service learning project on creating a school garden at West Creek Elementary School. He received grants from Disney and Katie’s Krops (a non-profit started by another Youth Advisory Board member) to fund his project and recruited youths to help build garden beds on Global Youth Service Day in April 2013. Students were given lessons on nutrition and how to care for a growing garden. This led to many students growing their own gardens at home while maintaining the garden at the school. Students at West Creek Elementary are making healthier choices, and the school has increased the number of students in the healthy afterschool club who participate in physical activities. More students participated in school sports this past year and brought healthier snacks and lunches to school because of Bobby’s garden.

EmpowerKids2Teach Alliance for a Healthier Generation Youth Advisory Board member Ethan Oro implemented the empowerME4Life curriculum to third- and fourthgraders at Green Oaks Elementary in East Palo Alto, Calif. It’s an eight-week healthy living course created by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. East Palo Alto has a very diverse school district where 61 percent of the students are Englishlanguage learners, only 22 percent read at grade level and 80 percent come from lowincome families.
Ethan used a $1000 United Health Heroes YSA (Youth Service America) grant to help implement the course and to purchase sports equipment for the kids to use in the afterschool program. This year, with an additional YSA Grant, Ethan brought the curriculum to two schools in the district, Green Oaks and Casatño School. As part of this expansion he recruited Stanford University students to teach the curriculum. Ethan then partnered with Collective Roots, a non-profit organization, to build teaching garden beds for students to creatively learn about nutrition. This activity increased students’ knowledge of and motivation to improve their eating habits. In addition, one of the schools decided to teach a voluntary garden class for students during the summer with plans to continue the curriculum and garden for the following school year.
