Since 1985, the Metropolitan Life Foundation has recognized exemplary schools, community groups, and teacher preparation programs that are meeting a special challenge: teaching children how to stay healthy. In the second year of Metropolitan Life's four‐year, $4 million “Healthy Me” campaign, 36 innovative programs were selected as the best school health education programs, and each received a $5,000 grant. An additional 13 community coalitions that actively promote comprehensive school health education also were recognized, and each received a $5,000 matching grant. The 1986 awards totaled $240,000. The “Healthy Me” program, administered by the Health and Safety Division of Metropolitan Life, is funded by the Metropolitan Life Foundation which was established in 1976. Since then, the Foundation has contributed more than $42 million to support activities in health, education, civic affairs, and culture throughout the United States.
