About Highmark Healthy High 5

Highmark Healthy High 5 is a five-year, $100 million initiative of the Highmark Foundation aimed to improve the health and well-being of children ages 6 to 18 years. The Highmark Foundation will accomplish this through supporting evidence-based programs that address children's health promotion through one or more of the following critical areas:

  • Nutrition - Includes support of programs that work directly with children and adolescents to promote nutrition and healthy eating habits through behavior-focused strategies.
  • Physical Activity - Includes support of programs that work directly with children and adolescents to promote physical activity through behavior-focused strategies.
  • Grieving - Includes support of programs that directly assist grieving children and adolescents through education, support groups, seminars and events.
  • Self-esteem - Includes support of programs that enhance children and adolescents' overall judgment of themselves, specifically their self-confidence and self-worth.
  • Bullying - Includes support of programs that create awareness and provide education about bullying.
