Check In for Check Ups

Many of you know the importance of regular check ups to keep an eye on your children's growth and development. However, sometimes families can't afford to provide their kids with adequate health care. This summer, Clorox and The Children’s Health Fund (CHF) – a non-profit organization committed to providing health care to the nation’s most medically underserved children and their families – are teaming up with new mom Bethenny Frankel to help bring ongoing care to disadvantaged kids in need of regular medical care.

This is the second year CHF and Clorox have partnered together. It's an important issue, since one in five children in the U.S. live in poverty and millions of children do not have access to regular checkups and timely health care visits when sick. As a result, simple childhood health problems, like ear infections and toothaches, can lead to lifelong health issues as adults.

It's really easy to help the cause. All you need to do is check-in with your current healthy habits - things like exercises and eating healthy can have a double impact with this program. For every check-in, Clorox will donate 10 cents, up to one million check-ins, to CHF to help support their goal of providing half a million health care visits across the country.
