Supporters and Proceeds
One-third of U.S. children are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. Queen of Peace Hospital and its Fitness Center are working to reverse that trend, by piloting an elementary school program (SWITCH) that teaches young children and their families to balance their activities and diet and foster a healthier lifestyle.
Proceeds from the Queen of Peace Foundation Euchre Tournament help to support this program.
