Fund Development Department: Fundraising and Grant Giving

Our Fund Development Department supports our following programs:

Childhood Obesity Program, which includes the following initiatives:

Healthy Eating Program. A program designed to educate overweight children, adolescents and their parents on the danger of
childhood obesity (COB) and the diseases directed related to COB.

RUN FOR FUN Program. A physical fitness program that provides tools that will help children and adolescents develop the
knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to adopt and maintain a physically active lifestyle and prevent childhood obesity.

HIV/AIDS and Cancer Research Program in which we support Clinical Trials, Vaccine and Immunotherapies, and Clinical
Research.

Disaster Relief Program in which we provide support to children, adolescents and elderly who are experiencing hardship from the
aftermath of unforeseen catastrophic occurrences.
We are pleased to announce that The HUSH Foundation Farmers Market will be coming soon! The HUSH Foundation Farmers
Market will be open on Fridays, and Sundays.  

As part of our Childhood Obesity Program, The HUSH Foundation Farmers Market will provide a forum in which families can buy
healthy foods directly from certified farmers and year-round vendors retailing and wholesaling the widest and freshest selection of
produce, pre-pagaged foods available.

Operating just as farmers markets have for hundreds of years, the HUSH Foundation Farmers Market will offer a unique shopping
experience in a festive outdoor setting where people can hand pick produce and assorted food products from amongst the broadest
offerings found anywhere, all at the most affordable prices available. The HUSH Foundation Farmers Market will also feature arts
and crafts including ethnic specialties, imported items, and unique and hard-to-find varieties.

Special Events.   The HUSH Foundation adopted the theory that “creative expression is linked to laughter,” which has a positive
effect on individuals psychologically and physiologically.  Several noted scientific studies have determined that laughter can give the
body up to 45 minutes of therapeutic relaxation.  It can also do the following:  

Relieve negative emotions ( i.e. anxiety and depression)
Relieve stress
Improve lung capacity and oxygen levels in the blood
Release endorphins (the body's natural pain killers) into the blood stream
Provide help with insomnia, migraines, allergies, and ulcers
Reduce the heart rate
Stimulate the appetite and digestion
Expand the blood vessels
Send more oxygen to every cell in the body
Speed  tissue healing
Stabilize many body functions, and
Produce a feeling of well being

Laughter also helps induce a person’s feelings of happiness, fun, enjoyment, and excitement. We believe children, adolescents, and elderly need a haven in which to escape from the reality of their devastation and we can provide that therapeutic relief by providing
them a haven in which to release their creative expression. We do this by providing entertaining, multifaceted, comprehensive, and
innovative performing arts productions (e.g., events consisting of song, dance, drama, comedy, poetry/spoken word, life
interpretation of art, and fashion, choral productions, music-based educational seminars, benefit shows/concerts, etc.).

Our Special Events are unique in that they provide exciting, entertaining, philanthropic activities that draw a multitude of people
together to bring awareness to social and health related issues that affect our youth, teens and elderly, while raising funds that are
used to support our programs.
