With strategic partnering, the Healthy Eating Program beneficiaries are directly impacted with the knowledge and application of the relationship with food and fueling their bodies. The program is delivered to 12 Title I elementary schools targeting third grade classes by nutrition educators via the University of Nevada Reno&#8217;s Extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cox Charities is funded primarily by Cox employee contributions through a workplace giving campaign and a variety of fundraisers including an annual golf tournament. Each grant is reviewed and selected by employees. Cox Charities\u2019 fiscal partner is the Nevada Community Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough the generosity of our Cox Las Vegas employees, Cox Charities support nonprofits in our community with Cox Charities grants,\u201d said Cox Las Vegas Vice President and Market Leader Michael F.
