Social Media Mom-trepreneur Bethenny Frankel, Clorox and Children’s Health Fund Team Up for Check-in for Checkups

How can a reality star mommy, a smart phone and her Twitter feed help children get access to regular health care visits? This summer, Clorox and The Children’s Health Fund (CHF) – a non-profit organization committed to providing health care to the nation’s most medically underserved children and their families – are teaming up with Bethenny Frankel to help bring ongoing care to disadvantaged kids in need of regular medical care. All you have to do is check-in your healthy habit.
You already know making healthy choices like exercising and eating healthy can benefit you and your family; now the team is encouraging moms, dads, and others to make these healthy habits count times two. For every check-in, Clorox will donate 10 cents, up to one million check-ins, to CHF to help support their goal of providing half a million health care visits across the country.
How You Can Help:
* Log onto www.checkinforcheckups.com and post your healthy act.
* Share your healthy habit on Twitter using the hashtag #checkinforcheckups.
* Encourage your readers to check-in frequently.
* Post to your Facebook page.
Check-in for Checkups marks the second year CHF and Clorox have partnered together. This issue is especially important as one in five children in the U.S. live in poverty and millions of children do not have access to regular checkups and timely health care visits when sick. As a result, simple childhood health problems, like ear infections and toothaches, can lead to lifelong health issues as adults.
Over the summer, checking-in your simple healthy habits – like drinking more water, walking the dog and disinfecting hard surfaces to help prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses – adds up and will go towards helping improve access to health care for disadvantaged children across the country.
