Corporate Social Responsibility

Health-E-tips, Inc. is a global company who is committed to improving the health in the young and the old.  

It is no secret that there is a nationwide concern about the staggering statistics surrounding obesity, particularly childhood obesity, an epidemic plaguing our country.  
 
Because our children spend one-third of their time at school, schools have a unique and critical role in helping address and prevent the generations to come from falling victim to these same statistics.  As such, state and national mandates are requiring schools to implement health education and to add more physical activity to our children’s school day.
 
To assist schools in helping kids reach their maximum potential provided optimal health, Health‑E-tips, Inc. launched The JAM School Program as its corporate social responsibility effort.  JAM delivers a weekly one-minute physical activity routine called a JAMmin’ Minute and a monthly Health-E-tips newsletter that is used to get kids and teachers to exercise more each day and to learn that health is a daily activity.  JAM is a free program to schools and has not only the kids, but also the staff and administrators exercising more throughout the day and and making health a daily habit.
 
JAM is backed and being promoted by The American Heart Association, The National PTA, Steps to a HealthierUS, The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (the largest group providing physical activity resources to teachers across America) and other non-profit groups and state government offices.  JAM is also an approved product for The Clinton Foundation’s Alliance for A Healthier Generation, which required approval from both the American Heart Association and Centers for Disease Control.  
 
Because of its simplicity and ease of adoption, school systems embrace JAM.  JAM has landed in over 7,000 schools, reaching 3+ million kids in a little over two years and is now averaging over 100,000 kids through new enrollment each month.  JAM is unprecedented in filling a crucial niche in schools and enjoys a successful track record while helping schools in the fight against childhood obesity.  
 
JAM is on the move to reach a targeted 15 million kids in 30,000 schools by 2012.
 
The mission of this program is critical to the well-being of kids, nationwide, and deserves significant focus and support.  In turn, the benefits and rewards for our children and ourselves, coupled with the economic impact to society, will be innumerable.
