Healthy Choices School Grant
January 14, 2005
Dear School Representative:
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA) is proud to
announce its Healthy Choices grant application for the
2005–2006 school year. Healthy Choices is a public middle
school-based nutrition and physical activity grant program
that awards schools $9000 over three years. The program is
funded by BCBSMA and administered by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health (MDPH). Since 1999, one hundred
(100) schools have benefited from the Healthy Choices
program.
For the 2005-2006 school year, BCBSMA plans to fund fifty
(50) public middle schools with first time Healthy Choices
grants.
We’ve enclosed application materials, and encourage you and
other school representatives (health educators, school
nurses, school food service directors, etc.) to attend a
Healthy Choices information session to learn more about the
program. Representatives from BCBSMA and MDPH will be
available to answer your questions about the program and the
application process.
The information session will be held on Thursday, March 3,
2005 at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel (508-460-0700),
located at 181 Boston Post Road, Marlborough, Massachusetts
from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. See enclosed for more
information.
If you have questions regarding the Healthy Choices grant
program or would like to register for the training session
please contact Vanessa Cavallaro at 617-246-2520, or via
email at vanessa.cavallaro@bcbsma.com.
In the meantime, we hope you’ll take a moment to review the
enclosed materials, and learn more about how the Healthy
Choices program can have a positive impact on the health and
wellness of your students.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Stevens-Edouard
Director, Community Relations
