The Keep Me Alive Annual Health Fair

The Keep Me Alive Foundation is making preparations for the Annual Community Health Fair, and we would greatly appreciate your organization joining us this year as a vendor. This year’s Health Fair will target those most in need. These will include individuals living below the poverty level, the unemployed and the voiceless. According to DHR 28,000 (24%) of third grade children reportedly were obese in 2008 and 2009. During this same period there was a significant increase in reported cases of obesity amongst Middle School students and High School (Please see enclosed data from DHR).
