United Healthcare is making a difference for some Green Bay students. Last week, FOX 11 reported that money for the “Blessings in a Backpack” program at Lincoln Elementary would run out in mid-November. Tuesday, United Healthcare employees presented a check for $6,000 to provide weekend meals to students who might otherwise go without. The money will cover almost all of the cost for the rest of this school year. United Healthcare employees say they are happy to help. “To be able to support a program like this where kids can come back to school on Monday morning properly nourished and ready to engage in the learning process, it was a perfect fit for our goals of helping people live healthier lives,” said account management director at United Healthcare, Dave Bishop. To meet the full cost for the school year, the program still needs $310.

Kyle Long’s Dreambuilders 615-330-6969 ryan@iconsports.us Chicago Bear Kyle Long, UnitedHealthcare to Renovate Playground at St. Malachy School and Support “Blessings in a Backpack” Program Playground renovation and weekend healthy-food program for students made possible by a donation from UnitedHealthcare CHICAGO – (May 6, 2015) – Chicago Bears Pro Bowl offensive lineman Kyle Long and UnitedHealthcare are partnering to support students from low-income families at St. Malachy School, located on Chicago’s near west side. UnitedHealthcare donated $22,000 to the Dreambuilders Foundation to help renovate the Chicago Park District’s Starr Park, which serves as St. Malachy School’s playground. The donation is also supporting the school’s Blessings in a Backpack program, which provides bags of nutritious food to 125 students every Friday afternoon over the next three school years, ensuring that these children have healthy food during the weekends.

The improvements to the 1.25-acre park will include new playground equipment, walking paths, site lighting, landscape improvements and a water-spray feature. “Keeping kids healthy in Chicago is of vital importance, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner in this effort than UnitedHealthcare,” said Long. “The renovation at Starr Park will give the students at St. Malachy a fun, new place to play and stay active, and the food we give the kids each Friday through Blessings in a Backpack will make sure they get the nutrition they need when they are not in school.” “UnitedHealthcare is grateful for the opportunity to partner with Kyle Long and Dreambuilders to increase awareness about childhood health, and promote healthy lifestyles and good eating habits in underserved Chicago neighborhoods,” said Colleen Van Ham, president and CEO, UnitedHealthcare of Illinois. Renovation for the new park will begin this summer, while funding for the Blessings in a Backpack program began in January.

Combined with support from parishioners of Holy Name Cathedral, all 255 students at St. Malachy School are now being given healthy and nutritious food on weekends through the Blessings program. “We are truly grateful for our partnership with Dreambuilders and the generous support of Chicago Bears’ Kyle Long and UnitedHealthcare, helping us feed hungry students over the weekend through our program,” said Brooke Wisemen, CEO, Blessings in a Backpack. “Every child deserves the nourishment needed to learn and grow – because of their generosity, St. Malachy students will come back to school on Mondays better nourished and more ready to learn.” This project is the latest in UnitedHealthcare’s “Do Good. Live Well.” employee volunteer initiative, whose mission is to prevent hunger and obesity, inspire service and encourage volunteerism. . Follow @DoGoodLiveWell on Twitter or “like” Do Good.
