#PHABack2School

This back-to-school season, we’re working with our partners to share best tips and tricks to help students – and parents! – have their healthiest school year yet.

We’re using our #PHABack2School campaign to let families know about the companies and organizations that are committed to helping them make the healthy choice the easy choice every day, especially during this busy time of year. And through weekly themes and giveaways, the campaign will share information on topics like the ABC’s of meal planning, tips for sports parents and more!

In 2016, more than 30 PHA partners participated, including: Avocados from Mexico, MARS Food/Uncle Ben’s, Nalgene, Ocean Spray and Sesame Workshop. This year, we’re looking for new content from our partners. If you have an idea for the 2017 #PHABack2School campaign, please contact Tatiana Delgado at tdelgado@ahealthieramerica.org.
