New GeograpHical Watermark REACHED for
promoting healthy hydration in kids


For immediate release
HUDSON, NEW YORK – We have now taught over a thousand children the importance of proper hydration. Hydration Education Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to educating children about the nutritional benefits of gulping water. Educating kids about hydration isn't free, and it's made possible only through tax-deductible contributions from both individuals and corporate sponsors.


Our 501c3 non-profit charitable organization’s mission is to prevent childhood obesity, diabetes, dehydration and dental disease. The Hydration Education Foundation, Inc. (www.gulpwater.org) teaches children to choose to gulp plain water instead of sugar drinks. Given today's numerous beverage choices, such a simple health concept can amount to a complex task. .
This week we reached a new geographical milestone, we happily fulfilled a request for our Hydration Education lesson plans from Wasilla, Alaska.
Already our lesson plans have been introduced to schools in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Arizona, Florida, New York as well as in New Zealand and Australia.
The US Department of Agriculture has designated Hydration Education Foundation, Inc. as an Official Community Partner. The IRS recently granted us 501(c)3 public charity status as a not-for-profit and we have officially launched our sponsorship programs enabling corporations to have their marketing goals achieved through our teaching materials.  .
Request free lesson plans or sponsor a marketing program or make a tax-deductible donation by visiting  www.gulpwater.org. Follow Hydration Education Foundation on our blog at http://gulpwater.blogspot.com on twitter@gulpwater or on www.facebook.com/gulpwater.
