The Säjai® Foundation, a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) organization created by Barbara King, works to combat childhood obesity and to inspire wise health and nutrition choices for youth. The Foundation is the result of Barbara King's passion for children, her commitment to healthy living and concern for the future of all of us.
The Foundation has a developed a family of programs called Wise Kids® to teach children about healthy living and to encourage them to be actively involved in the outdoors. By working with children, families and youth serving organizations we hope to begin taking action, at a local level, to reduce childhood obesity.
Overview:
