In March 2015, CSX and the organization Action for Healthy Kids announced that they are offering nearly 300 Every Kid Healthy Grants for schools to support wellness, nutrition, and physical activity initiatives. These grants will range from $500 to $2,500 and can be used for everything from purchasing new equipment for playgrounds to creating walking and running clubs. Schools typically use these grants to inspire fundamental changes in attitudes and habits among their students. Last year, CSX funded 287 grants through the program.

According to research, children who engage in exercise
not only receive physical benefits, but also experience
improvements in their brain function and behavior.

3.  Despite research that makes these benefits
evident, funding for physical activities among
students continues to decline. CSX’s support of
Action for Healthy Kids recognizes the
importance of physical and nutritional
initiatives and helps make exercise more
accessible to students at more than 5,000
schools.
CSX also supports Action for Healthy Kids
through Get in the Action service events, which
allow CSX employees to volunteer at local
schools and promote physical activities.
