To start off the lunar new year, we want to take the time to thank you for your support of CANFIT. Your donations, calls, advice, referrals, and social media shares have kept us going during this past “Re-Calibration” year, and will be the things that keep us sane during the coming year. See below for summaries of CANFIT’s work last year, and plans for the coming year....
What is the MO Project contest?
MO Project is a contest about a movement. Affordable, healthy food and safe & accessible areas for physical activity are scarce in many places. That's why California is building a movement and we want to hear from the youth!
With funding from the California Endowment and Kaiser Permanente (Southern CA), CANFIT produced MO Project- a statewide online media contest for youth ages 13 - 18 who want to make a difference. Youth made videos, posters or spoken word pieces about what they wanted MOre of to improve the health of their community (i.e. change your school or after school food, start a farmer's market, improve a park, eliminate junk food advertising). Watch the winning videos from MO Project Round 1 and Round 2 below.
During the contest, CANFIT lead 8 regional MO Project Youth Convenings across the state of California. See where MO Project went.
