The Saucony Run For Good Foundation is committed to improving the lives of children by helping to prevent and reduce childhood obesity. It aims to inform the public about its cause and prevention and provide funding to optimize the impact and success of community organizations that promote running and healthy lifestyle programs for youth.
The Saucony Run For Good Foundation grant program is focused on reversing the trend of increased inactivity and obesity among American youth, which has led to obesity rates tripling over the past three decades. By providing funding to community nonprofit organizations that initiate and support running programs for kids, the foundation seeks to offer children the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of running and a healthier lifestyle. The grants are aimed at tackling the childhood obesity epidemic by supporting running and fitness programs designed for children.
