The Your Weight Matters Campaign is brought to you by the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), a non profit charity dedicated to helping those affected by obesity. To learn more about the OAC, you can visit www.obesityaction.org. The OAC realizes the importance of raising awareness of weight and its impact on health and also challenges every American to talk to a healthcare professional about their weight.

 

The OAC developed this important campaign with no sponsorships or restricted campaign grants. This campaign was initially produced with limited funding. We want this campaign to continue and expand to every city across the U.S., and to do this, we need the generous support of individuals like YOU. That’s why we encourage you to consider making a tax-deductible donation to the OAC in the name of the “Your Weight Matters” campaign.
