Let's Read. Let's Move. -- Bronx, New York

 

On Monday, August 22, Chris Draft will join almost 250 members of the Madison Square Boys & Girls Club at the Joel E. Smilow Clubhouse for a special afternoon of Let’s Read. Let’s Move. as part of the Foundation’s partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service's United We Serve:Let's Read. Let's Move. initiative.

The Chris Draft Family Foundation (CDFF) seeks to make a lasting, positive impact on children, families, and communities. Using the inspiration and lessons learned while working with youth and families throughout his college and professional career, Chris Draft and the CDFF engage in community projects that support youth, families, schools, civic groups and health awareness organizations.

The Let's Read. Let's Move. initiative seeks to combat childhood obesity and summer reading loss by engaging youth in summer reading and physical activity, as well as by providing access to healthy, affordable food. The initiative is an Administration-wide effort led by the Corporation for National and Community Service in collaboration with First Lady Michelle Obama and five federal agencies - U.S. Department of Education, Department of Interior, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Agriculture, and Institute of Museums and Libraries.
