Greening Our Children

This year, the Fifth Annual Greening Our Children luncheon will be held on May 7, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Greenwich, Connecticut.  The Greening Our Children luncheon is the principal benefit each year for the Children’s Environmental Health Center (CEHC).  The luncheon helps to support the research and training programs that the Center provides.

Last year, the 2011 Greening Our Children luncheon helped CEHC launch 13 new pilot projects; topics included childhood obesity, lung cancer, and pesticide exposure.  This year, proceeds will continue to benefit our signature pilot research projects, which support the newest and most innovative research in children’s environmental health.

Remember, children are not simply 'little adults'.  They are uniquely sensitive to toxic exposures in the environment.  Toxic exposures in early life can affect health and cause disease in childhood and across the entire human life span.

Please support our work — and help sustain our mission to protect children against environmental threats to health.
