Give Kids a Chance Video describing the work of our organization.



On April 20th, the Young Professionals' Board (YPB) of the Bright Promises Foundation will host a special showing of the Tony Award-winning Musical, Billy Elliott, and an after-show party at the Wit Hotel to benefit the Foundation.  Click here for more information.



The YPB is comprised of people who are interested in furthering the work and promoting the mission of the Foundation by lending their time and professional knowledge. YPB member Lisa Mayotte said, " I felt joining the YPB would be a great, fun and rewarding way to make a difference to this community and its children." Fellow YPB member Heather Felchle said she joined to "actually make a difference and give children the best future possible."



For more information about the YPB, please contact Lauren Krieg at lauren.krieg@brightpromises.org.

One of the greatest challenges in promoting a healthy lifestyle to children is to engage them.  Nowadays, video games are more popular than outdoor sports and junk food commercials make non-nutritional foods cool - kids often don’t care as much about good nutrition as they should.  This has caused many children in Chicago to suffer from obesity and its related effects.
Have you ever thought of spinach as super?  A pretty cool pomegranate?  Erie Neighborhood House has created a curriculum for its Super H – Healthy Kids Make Happy Kids program designed to get kids interested in healthy foods by learning information about and how to prepare different “super foods”.  Led by a high-energy staff, the program gets kids motivated to live healthier.
