Overview
Who we are
Team Ellie Foundation is a non-profit organization encouraging a healthy lifestyle for kids. Ensuring they get opportunities to focus on sports, nature, music, outdoor play, social development, building friendships, and learn community engagement. The well-being of our communities starts with the well-being of our kids.
What we know
American childhood has moved indoors during the last twenty years, spending half the time as they did twenty years ago, and making them part of the least active generation in history. This has a negative impact on the mental and physical development of today’s kids.
Our Goal
The foundation's goal is to move us toward a future in which all children, teens, and young adults spend time out of their indoor habitat. Creating a generation of happier, healthier kids with more awareness and connection to the natural world.
The Research
Centers for Disease Control, Academy of America Pediatrics, and the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights have conducted research on creative play and health. All have concluded how essential it is for child development.
