Why Your Support Matters
Every child deserves opportunities to grow up healthy. Families, educators, and healthcare providers need practical, trusted support to help make that possible.
Pennington Biomedical’s research helps us understand what works to prevent and treat childhood obesity. Greaux Healthy brings that knowledge into everyday life—with nutrition and movement resources for families, programs that support healthier school environments, and tools that help healthcare providers care for children.
Your support helps this work reach more people across Louisiana. By joining the Greaux Healthy Collective or making a gift, you help turn research into resources people can use—and build lasting support for healthier children and communities.

Small changes. Everyday opportunities.
At Glen Oaks Park Elementary in East Baton Rouge Parish, healthy habits are becoming part of the school day. For physical education teacher, Anderson Briggs, one of the things that stood out about the Greaux Healthy School Health Program was how easily he could bring its activities and lessons into his school.
“Greaux Healthy is focused on the nutrition as well as the active part, which is what I like,” Briggs shared.
With training and resources from Greaux Healthy, educators are giving students opportunities to move, learn about nutrition, and explore healthy habits together. For Briggs, having practical activities that fit into the school day makes that work feel within reach.
That experience has inspired Briggs to encourage other school districts to try the program. “I’d personally like to be the district spokesperson and speak to other school districts to encourage them to try this program based on the results we’ve seen, even in the short amount of time we’ve had Greaux Healthy.”
This is research in action: helping educators bring evidence-based practices into the places where children spend their days. Your support helps Greaux Healthy bring that same practical guidance to more schools and communities across Louisiana.
