NEW YORK--()--In recognition of Black History Month, Colgate-Palmolive has partnered with the Children’s Health Fund to launch its “Honor Your Past. Treasure Your Health” campaign.
“Busy families often need extra support to lead a healthy lifestyle, and this new campaign encourages consumers to share and discuss healthy tips with loved ones, while also supporting our organization’s work.”
Beginning now through March 15, families will be empowered to celebrate their heritage by working towards a healthier future with free health and wellness tips online. By logging onto www.Colgate.com/Treasure, visitors will be encouraged to share these tips via Facebook, Twitter or Google+. For every tip shared, Colgate will donate $1.00 to the Children’s Health Fund.[1]

With 50 mobile medical and dental clinics, the Children’s Health Fund national network has brought health care services to 350,000 children to date.

In addition to fixed-site clinics, Children’s Health Fund supports a fleet of 50 mobile clinics, including dental and mental health vehicles, that bring comprehensive health care to children in hundreds of locations across the country.
