A national campaign featuring Jennifer Aniston is helping raise awareness and money for Action for Healthy Kids.

The campaign by glacéau smartwater® this summer is part of a $1 million commitment to Action for Healthy Kids. A portion - $450,000 granted on behalf of Jennifer Aniston and company, through the Entertainment Industry Foundation, - is supporting national expansion of Action for Healthy Kids’ Students Taking Charge program to high schools in eight cities and through Web-based programming for students this fall. The expansion cities are Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Seattle, New York City, and Philadelphia.

The campaign includes national radio promotion and an ad taped by Aniston, and displays in stores where smartwater is sold. In addition, Action for Healthy Kids has participated in promotional events in targeted areas, including Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Arizona, Seattle, Nashville and Orange County/Los Angeles.

Students Taking Charge motivates, educates and empowers high school students to get involved and take action to improve nutrition and opportunities for physical activity in their school – and to help themselves and their peers learn to be healthier. Since developed by the Massachusetts Action for Healthy Kids State Team and the Harvard Prevention Center’s Youth Task Force in 2005, nearly 15,000 middle and high school students have tested the program in Massachusetts, Texas, Iowa, Michigan and Kansas.
