GOLO donates $10K to University of Delaware 4-H program

As part of its ongoing commitment to support community-based health and wellness initiatives, GOLO, a Newark-based wellness solutions company, donated $10,000 to the University of Delaware 4-H program.

The funds will support various educational programs managed by University of Delaware 4-H, specifically initiatives emphasizing the importance of health and nutrition.

“We have long admired the contributions made by the University of Delaware 4-H Program to families in the community,” said Jennifer Brooks, GOLO LLC president. “Our donation will help to support their efforts in the areas of healthy living and nutrition education.”

The goal of the Delaware 4-H program is to promote citizenship, leadership, responsibility and life skills in youth through a positive development approach. The program incorporates the National 4-H Essential Elements – creating an environment where youth feel a sense of belonging, have an opportunity to master skills, practice independence, and develop a spirit of generosity. Members of 4-H are involved in long-term learning experiences with peers and adult volunteers while participating in interactive, hands-on learning and innovative opportunities while they grow and work together as catalysts for positive change.

“Healthy living is one of the three national mission mandates for the 4-H youth development program, and we continually strive to provide important knowledge, information and real-life experiences to our 4-H youth in this area,” said Doug Crouse, state 4-H youth development leader. “The University of Delaware 4-H Program looks forward to this unique partnership with GOLO to support our 4-H youth members with valuable initiatives around health, nutrition and wellness.”

The company’s donation will support a range of programming in Sussex, Kent and New Castle counties.
