Teaming up to support Action for Healthy Kids

Dairy industry sponsors of the Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) program proudly present a check from Hoard's Dairyman during the 2008 World Dairy Expo. Hoard's raises money for AFHK through advertising from dairy industry sponsors and then matches their contributions. Dairy producers, through their investment in the National Dairy Council (NDC), the nutrition research and education arm of the dairy check-off, are working to introduce kids to the benefits and joys of exercise and nutritious foods, including dairy. By emphasizing the need for better nutrition and physical activity in our nation's schools, dairy producers are being part of the effort to fight childhood obesity and help America's youth reach their full potential.
