Highmark Healthy High 5 School Challenge Increases Grants to Schools
Highmark Healthy High 5 School Challenge has awarded more than $1.8 million in grants to 244 schools, grades K-12, across Pennsylvania to date in 2008. The grants will support programs that address bullying prevention and self-esteem, improve nutrition education, enhance nutrition choices and provide opportunities for physical activity. Due to the overwhelming response from schools, the Highmark Foundation increased the grants it will award in 2008 from $1 million to $2.5 million. Highmark Healthy High 5 grants are awarded throughout the year. To apply, visit Grant Process for School Challenge grants.
