Our Story
Why this foundation exists.
The Sidney and Iric Cohen Foundation was born from a personal belief: that the next generation of disadvantaged children doesn't have to grow up suffering from preventable, diet-driven disease. The names behind this foundation represent a lasting family commitment to that belief.
The problem is real
Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Disease disproportionately affect communities with limited access to nutrition education. These aren't inevitable outcomes — they're the result of habits formed early, in the absence of better information.
Education is the answer
Dietary choices made in youth set the trajectory for a lifetime. We meet kids where they are — through engaging content, social media, and a gamified app that makes healthy eating feel like a game, not a chore.
A mission with meaning
Named in honor of Sidney and Iric Cohen, this foundation represents a lasting family commitment to protecting the health of disadvantaged children — in our communities and around the world.
"Our goal is to see less disadvantaged children grow up to suffer from the debilitating effects of Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Disease."
All three of these conditions link directly back to eating habits developed early in life.
That's why we focus on youth — because that's where the opportunity is greatest to change outcomes before they become irreversible.
The Cohen Foundation brings together education, technology, and community to give every child the knowledge they need to make healthier choices.
