KARNO KIDS

Our Challenge

A third of our youth in the US (25 million kids) are either overweight or obese. The direct medical cost of treating obesity related diseases is staggering, but the quality of life costs are even higher. Physical education programs are being eliminated from our schools at alarming rates, and open spaces where kids can explore the environment and enjoy the wonders of the great outdoors are disappearing. We need to reverse this unfortunate trend.

What We Do

KARNO KIDS is actively involved in raising money through direct solicitations of individuals and corporations, through fund-raising events, and through selling of athletic memorabilia and commemorative merchandise. KARNO KIDS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) foundation.

Who We Support

As a foundation, KARNO KIDS provides direct financial support to organizations and programs that are focused on improving the health and wellness of our youth and restoring and preserving the environment and urban open-spaces. We work with a select number of quality organizations and programs that support this vision in an accountable and quantifiable manner. Some of these include: Girls on the Run, The Conservation Fund, and Kids on Trails.

Donate

Donate to Karno Kids.

A portion of every race entry into The North Face Endurance Challenge Championship that had been designated for KarnoKids will be presented to Save The Bay, the oldest and largest membership organization working exclusively to protect, restore and celebrate San Francisco Bay. Following the tragic Cocso Busan Oil Spill in San Francisco Bay on November 7, Save The Bay has been documenting spill impacts so government wildlife agencies can quantify the extent of damage to the Bay. The organization is also demanding a full investigation into the accident’s causes and the cleanup response and insisting on restoration and compensation for wildlife and habitat destroyed by this spill.
