Hi, I’m Christopher Daly, and I’m reaching out to support Hip4Kids Inc—an incredible organization helping kids lead active, healthy lives.

We are raising funds to build and film a free, nationwide digital cooking and nutrition program—including chef-led videos, recipes, and curriculum that will be accessible for FREE to every teacher, afterschool program, and homeschool family in the country.

Imagine a child who has never been taught what healthy food looks like…

A family struggling to put nutritious meals on the table…

A student who wants to learn, but simply doesn’t have access.

Hip4Kids exists for them.

Founded in 1999, Hip4Kids is a 501(c)(3) educational foundation created to combat childhood obesity and Type II diabetes. What started with special needs students in Queens, New York has grown into a movement that has reached over 200,000 children and families through hands-on cooking, nutrition education, and community programs.

We’ve partnered with organizations like the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, the NYS Office of Children & Family Services, The Children’s Aid Society, Emblem Health, and more—bringing healthy living directly into schools, parks, and underserved communities.

Our mission is simple but powerful:

• Teach children how to eat well and prevent disease

• Help them understand where their food comes from

• Build confidence through cooking and life skills

• Promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles

• Create lifelong habits that can change the course of their future

Now, we’re taking everything we’ve built over the last 25+ years and making it accessible to every child, everywhere—for free.

We are developing a digital afterschool program that will include:

• Chef-led cooking videos

• Easy-to-follow recipes

• Full lesson plans for teachers and parents

• Curriculum across topics like vegetables, gluten-free, protein, and more

• Specialized resources for children on the autism spectrum and their families

But we can’t do this without your help.

Your donation will go directly toward:

• Writing and developing curriculum

• Filming and producing high-quality cooking videos

• Editing and publishing content online

• Building a platform where teachers can access these tools easily

This is bigger than a program.

This is about giving every child—no matter their background—the chance to learn how to nourish their body, take control of their health, and build a better future.

Please donate today.

Because what we teach kids to put on their plate today… shapes their life tomorrow.

It’s All About What You Put on The Table.
