The Nash Health Care Foundation awarded a $ 5,000 grant to the Triple Play program of the Boys and Girls Club of Nash/Edgecombe Counties. The Triple Play program educates youth about nutrition, the importance of daily exercise and developing individual strengths and good character.

The Nash Health Care Foundation seeks to extend the scope of wellness in the community. The Foundation solicits, safeguards and disperses funds for health care, health education, wellness, and disease and injury prevention. The Foundation also focuses on ways to improve the health of area youth in an effort to battle the alarming trend of childhood obesity that can lead to multiple health problems, including type 2 diabetes.
