March To National Nutrition Month Make A Pledge To Healthier Kids

Posted on Jan 06, 2012 by Maggie LaBarbera
 

I am a nurse and a mom who founded a free, bilingual nutrition education website to promote healthy eating to children through fun interactive nutrition games. I believe that small changes in a child's daily habits and choices can really make a difference.  These small changes will add up to a healthier child.  

Join our campaign as we March to National Nutrition Month® by making one simple pledge a week that helps children make healthier choices.  Our campaign will run from January 8 through the end of March.

But we need your help to spread the word!  I am looking for bloggers to partner with me in the fight against childhood obesity and improve children's nutrition. 

You can help us by sharing our pledge with your community of readers and in exchange we will provide you free advertising space on an exclusive Hall of Fame Supporters page featured on our popular parents resource page.

Quick Outline - How To Participate:

Here is all you need to do to be included in our exclusive resource page for parents:

 

1. post a blog (prewritten one below) that shares our pledge campaign details and links back to the pledge page.

2.  Post a badge (from below) on your blogs

3.  Share our pledge campaign on your social networks, twitter or facebook.

 

What You Get For Your Support

What you will get for showing your support:
  • For participating, we will post your content for six months as a “thank you” for your support on a special 'Hall of Fame bloggers page showing our visitors and members the wonderful community of special bloggers that helped us reach out and make a difference in children's lives.  
  • Each participant who meets the above criteria will be listed on this page with their logo, short description and a link back to your page
  • The top three bloggers that send the most people to our Pledge page will be featured in our newsletter, home page and receive a special badge of recognition.  What a way to show your marketing muscle to potential advertisers!
  • You will be working for a great cause, our children.  In the end, that is what this is all about.

All you have to do is help us spread the word about our pledge campaign and let your readers and friends know how to make a pledge on your website, blog, facebook, twitter and any other social system you use.

Prepared Post

Here is mini article to post on your blog/site:

I wanted to share with you a campaign to help kids eat healthier and be healthier by making one simple pledge each week.  

We know that the majority of children don't eat enough nutritious foods to help them develop strong and healthy bodies.  Today, over 85% of children are deficient in at least one or more key nutrients.  

I am joining the Chef Solus March to National Nutrition Month by making a pledge to help children make healthier choices each week.

Each week nourishinteractive.com gives a new pledge, one simple goal to focus on to help children eat healthier and some tips to help you get started.  It literally takes less then one minute to show your support.  

All pledges are entered into a weekly drawing for cool prizes that promote health (valued at $30-50).

It will only take you a a minute of your time so please support this important cause.  Our children are counting on you!  You can make your weekly pledge to help kids by clicking herePlease join me and make your pledge for healthy children.
