Did you know that when African American girls eat breakfast great things can happen? Researchers followed African American girls and their peers for 10 years! They learned that eating breakfast is an important start to your day. According to the research, girls who ate breakfast were more likely to have healthier weights and had lower total cholesterol.
Plus, breakfast gives you energy to start the day!
You can pledge to eat breakfast, and make good-for-you choices like milk, fruit, yogurt and cereal.
Not only will your pledge be a positive step for YOU, but you’ll also impact a girl in need. For every I<3BKFST pledge, General Mills will donate $0.25 to Grace House, a foster home for girls in Birmingham, up to $10,000, with a minimum pledge of $5,000. The money will be used to help Grace House purchase groceries for the girls’ breakfast.
After you pledge you will have access to fun downloads!
