Let's Go!

Let’s Go! promotes healthy lifestyle choices for children, youth, and families in 12 Greater Portland communities by focusing on physical activity and healthy eating. The multi-year project is funded by Let’s Go Founding Partners Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation, TD Banknorth, Hannaford, MaineHealth, Maine Medical Center, Unum, and United Way of Greater Portland. The program also receives significant support from the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation. Let’s Go! works collaboratively with the public health professionals, community based organizations and programs working to increase physical activity and improve nutrition among children and families in the Portland area. Let’s Go! was created in direct response to a doubling in the rate of obesity in Maine’s children over the past three decades. Visit www.letsgo.org for more information.
