Mission
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health, wellness, and fitness of communities, thousands of people at a time.
Put kids on the road to good health on Give to Lincoln Day, May 28.
Early giving starts May 1 here.
Kids can live longer and healthier lives through participation in sports and other physical activities that help prevent childhood obesity and its related chronic diseases. Learning to ride a bike sets kids up for a lifetime of healthy activity. Cycling helps kids to maintain a healthy weight and improves cardiovascular fitness. So, this year, we are dedicating your gifts to provide All Kids Bike kits, which includes education, helmets, and transitional training bicycles, to every Lincoln elementary school to teach kids how to ride.
