The OAC is standing up against weight-based bullying.

Will you stand with us?

John,

National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month is a time to shed light on all the unique challenges faced by children affected by obesity. That's why we're highlighting a heartbreaking reality: weight-based bullying.

So many of us can remember (and so many more can only imagine) being a child, excited to go back to school, only to dread the whispers, the taunts, the isolation. For too many children, this is their daily experience. Weight-based bullying has a devastating impact on a child's self-esteem, mental health, and overall well-being. It's time to stand up and speak out.

The OAC is here to help. We provide resources for families, educators, and communities to understand, prevent, and address weight-based bullying. From educational materials to interactive experiences, we're committed to empowering children and their loved ones.

But we can't do it alone. Your donation today will help us expand our reach and provide critical support to those affected by bullying. Together, we can create a world where every child feels safe, accepted, and loved.

There are two things you can do immediately to help:

1. Make a donation. Support of all sizes will make a difference as we fight to change society’s negative attitudes about people’s weight. It's time we end the pain and suffering resulting from childhood obesity bullying.
    
2. Share our efforts throughout Childhood Obesity Awareness Month on social media and encourage others to get involved. Let your friends and family know you're supporting OAC's stand against weight-based bullying, and tell them why it's important to join in.
