What is Weigh Cool?®
Weigh Cool is an initiative to help children and families reverse the trend of childhood obesity and type II diabetes through supportive relationships and environments, good nutrition, and regular exercise. The statewide initiative works with state and community-based partners to provide children and families with simple ways to incorporate healthy nutrition and physical activity into their everyday routine.
Summer Play Every Day is made possible through a partnership of YMCA's Activate America, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Nebraska Action for Healthy Kids and Nebraska Children and Families Foundation.
