Help Prevent Childhood Obesity

  • Childhood overweight rates have doubled
  • Childhood Obesity rates have tripled in 20 years
  • 1 in 6 of our 3rd-graders is overweight
"We are facing the first generation of adults who will see their children die
of chronic diseases before they do"
World Health Organization, 2001

Helping to stop Childhood Obesity in their local communities, these retailers have
formed a partnership with Food For All, a non-profit organization that provides self-help solutions to end hunger


During the back-to-school period the above stores are
asking their customers to donate to support local
elementary schools with implementation of the
GoZonkers program



Principals, Teachers, PTOs, please encourage your parents and
communities to donate to the current campaign to Prevent Childhood
Obesity. Ask them to stop at the participating stores and contribute to our
kids' health and fun at school! Please see logos of the participating local
retailers at the top of this page.


Carole Bitter, President and CEO of Friedman's Markets on GoZonkers:


"Friedman's Markets is pleased to launch the Food For All GoZonker's early childhood obesity campaign. GoZonker's is a unique fundraiser that supports classroom exercise programs for local K-6 schools. These fun, interactive at-desk exercises get kids moving and are accompanied by valuable nutrition information," says Carole Bitter, President and CEO, Friedman's Markets, "We are so pleased to offer our customers an opportunity to contribute to a program that will only benefit the long term health and welfare of our children."

GoZonkers™ is At-desk, Exercise Fun


  • It gets Kids physically active daily – in-school – at home
  • Fun 8-9 minute, high-energy, audio story adventures
  • Kids exercise vigorously at-desk along with the stories

Stories include curriculum-based nutrition information



Why Daily, Vigorous Exercise?


Because the #1 preventive measure to attack Childhood Obesity is exercise yet, over 50% of our Kids get less than 5 minutes/day


Because of the generous customer donations facilitated by the above community-based retailers, the GoZonkers program is given FREE to local elementary schools nationwide
