The time is NOW to end childhood obesity bullying.

John,

We know you'll agree that even one more child facing weight-based bullying is one too many. 

That's why we need you to make your donation today to support our efforts to end childhood obesity bullying. With 30% of girls and 24% of boys with excess weight reporting peer victimization and bullying, we're already behind. 

The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) has been focused on creating a better world for children affected by obesity by bringing awareness to the bias that leads to bullying and by equipping students and their families with tools and information to fight back against harmful treatment. Throughout this Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, we're raising funds that will help us sustain these efforts and grow their impact.

The donations you provide during this campaign will not only support our current programs and initiatives but will also help us create new and innovative opportunities to put an end to childhood obesity bullying and ease the pain too many children face.

 

How we're fighting for children affected by obesity in 2022:

Calling on our Community Members to join us in sending letters to school district administrative staff and key leadership urging them to ban weight-based bullying in their school code of conduct.

View the letter and create a copy to edit and send.

Overhauling our current childhood obesity education to incorporate information for adolescents. The newest piece, Understanding Childhood and Adolescent Obesity Brochure  will include the most up-to-date treatment options available.

Creating a national PSA as part of OAC's Stop Weight Bias Campaign that puts focus on the effect weight-based bullying has on individuals who often carry that pain into adulthood.
