THE MARION WALKER & MERCEDES BOTTS YOUTH FOUNDATION
The Marion Walker & Mercedes Botts Youth Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit exclusively founded for the purpose of providing health and wellness services to underserved communities. The non-profit, which serves as the non-profit, sister company of VIGORworks, LLC partners with VIGORworks to offer the Youth Challenge to those families who might not be covered by an insurance plan that offers the Youth Challenge program to its members. The non-profit offers scholarships for those who wish to enroll in the program. These special scholarships are need based and the participants and their families must meet certain criteria in order to be eligible to receive one of these scholarships. Eligibility is based on a series of factors which include household income, severity of overweight/obesity, age and whether the individual represents a group that has been identified as being underserved as it relates to healthcare.
If you have an overweight child who is not covered under a participating health plan please click here to contact us.
As a 501c3, the Marion Walker & Mercedes Botts Foundation relies on grants and the kindness of donations to be able to offer the Youth Challenge to those children who need it most. In addition, the Foundation is always looking for strategic partners in the fight against Childhood Obesity.
