I Can, You Can, We Can

We Can!, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Ad Council, launched the "I Can, You Can, We Can" PSA campaign in September 2012 for National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. The campaign encourages parents and caregivers to find creative ways to challenge and engage their kids to make healthy choices.
