Dear Kirsten Teller
It’s been another busy week here at the Clinton Foundation. Here’s a glimpse at a few of the exciting
developments we’ve been working on:
- Partnering with Rachael Ray to fight childhood obesity
- Hosting our CGI Mid-Year Meeting
- Celebrating Earth Day at the Clinton Presiden
Tune in Thursday, April 26th to watch Rachael Ray and President Bill Clinton talk about the issue of childhood obesity and how to cook quick, affordable and healthy meals. Hear about Rachael Ray’s new partnership with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation to educate and empower families across America to make healthier food choices!

Last week President Clinton convened the Clinton Global Initiative Mid-Year Meeting in New York to highlight some of the powerful stories from among hundreds of CGI commitments that are making a difference around the world. The meeting also featured people who shared their own stories of how their lives have been changed by commitments CGI helped inspire, including Zethu, a young AIDS orphan from South Africa who has committed to helping other orphans in her community.

To date, CGI has inspired more than 570 commitments, with more than $10 billion invested to help 1,000 organizations impact lives in 100 countries.

This past weekend, the Clinton Presidential Center celebrated Earth Day in a big way, hosting the Arkansas Earth Day Foundation’s statewide festival. More than 7,500 people gathered at the Center in downtown Little Rock to enjoy live entertainment, art, food and “green” tours of the facility, which is the only Presidential Library to receive certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The Clinton Foundation is committed to fighting climate change on a global level year-round through the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), which is working with 40 of the largest cities around the world to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Get more information on CCI - CLICK HERE
