“Chef’s for Kids’ Cookin’ Up Breakfast events augment our nutrition education program by giving kids the opportunity to taste and experience how fun healthy eating can be,” said Heikili Apao, Chefs for Kids Chairman. “We’re truly grateful to our community partners such as MGM Resorts International for providing much needed funding and volunteers to make this program happen.”

Chefs for Kids delivers breakfast to Title I schools in Southern Nevada feeding more than 10,000 students a healthy meal each year. The schools selected for Cookin’ Up Breakfast also receive 40 minutes of nutrition education monthly through a partnership with University of Nevada, Reno Extension.

“The impact of exposing students to nutrition education in school extends beyond the classroom, as we often hear of kids sharing what they learned at home, positively affecting their families’ eating habits,” said Francis Castillo, Assistant Principal at Kermit R. Booker ES. “We’re grateful to Chefs for Kids for providing our students with this experience and putting a big smile on their faces.”
