5% OF THE PROFITS FROM GREEN KIDS AUCTION GOES TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING CHARITY:
Healthy Child Healthy World (www.hchw.org) is dedicated to protecting the health and well being of children from harmful environmental exposures. We educate parents, support protective policies, and engage communities to make responsible decisions, simple every day choices, and well-informed lifestyle improvements to create healthy environments where children and families can flourish.
Healthy Child Healthy World exists because more than 125 million Americans, especially children, now face an historically unprecedented rise in chronic disease and illness such as cancer, autism, asthma, birth defects, ADD / ADHD, and learning and developmental disabilities. Credible scientific evidence increasingly points to environmental hazards and household chemicals as causing and contributing to many of these diseases.
As a national leader for nearly two decades, Healthy Child Healthy World has become the nation's leading organization of its kind. We help millions of parents, educators, health professionals, and the general public take action to create healthy environments and embrace green, non-toxic steps.
Purpose and Goals
- Expand awareness and understanding of environmental hazards to children's health
- Help the public learn about healthier practices, solutions, and products in the marketplace
- Encourage daily action and informed lifestyle choices
- Create standards and policies for safer products, foods, materials, and chemicals used in the home promoting safer options and new alternatives
- Advocate for and support corporate policies and governmental legislation that protect children from environmental risks
- Engage communities to make wise choices and responsible decisions so families can flourish
Healthy Child Healthy World (formerly CHEC - Children's Health Environmental Coalition) was founded by James and Nancy Chuda in 1991 after their daughter Colette died from Wilm's tumor a rare form of non-hereditary cancer. HCHW is a national, non-profit 501(c) 3 organization headquartered in Los Angeles. HCHW is governed by an outstanding volunteer Board of Directors and distinguished group of advisors and is strengthened by community and corporate partners. HCHW is playing a leadership role in one of the most important public health and environmental movements of the 21st century.
WANT TO GIVE BACK TOO?
Here are some charities we really dig...
http://www.soles4souls.org/
Mission: to impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes. We are partnering with charities and governments around the world to provide a basic (yet indispensible) gift that most of us take for granted.
You can help us in many ways: donating your own shoes, donating cash for freight, hosting a shoe drive, or even dontating your time as a volunteer. As shoe industry professionals, we are working hard to use the resource at our disposal to make a difference -- but we need your help (and your shoes) to reach out to the world.
