Kohl's Fun & Fit Kids

The Children's Hospital at Saint Francis developed and implements
Kohl's Fun & Fit Kids, a childhood obesity prevention and awareness effort. Kohl's supports The Children's Hospital at Saint Francis through the Kohl's Cares® Hospital Partner Program, introduced in 2000. The Kohl's Cares philanthropic program supports children's health and education initiatives in the communities they serve. Kohl's Cares provides funding for the Kohl's Fun & Fit Kids program. As part of this effort, Saint Francis has also teamed up with the Tulsa 66ers and J2Crew to bring fun, entertainment and healthy role models to each event. Read about our partnerships.

Kohl's Fun & Fit Kids visit local community events to encourage kids of all ages and their families to eat right and be active. At the booth you might find interactive games, an obstacle course, educational materials, music, dancing and fun giveaways.

Kohl's Fun & Fit Kids will visit 12 schools in the greater Tulsa area this academic school year. Over 4,000 3rd – 5th grade students will have the opportunity to participate in an hour-long school assembly with games and activities focused on nutrition and exercise. Program partners, J2Crew and the Tulsa 66ers, will turn school assemblies into a day you won't want to miss.

• Celebrate your child making it through another school year by going on a camping or hiking trip.

• Berries are beginning to ripen and are ready for picking. Look up online local berry farms open to the public to harvest your own fruit, which can be less expensive than store-bought.

• More fruit is becoming in season. If you find that you bought too much, try rinsing and freezing them for later.Frozen grapes make a perfect cold snack on a hot summer day!

• At your next BBQ, wrap up vegetables in a foil packet with sprinkled pepper, herbs, and a drizzle of water. Grill 10-15 min and enjoy with your meal!
