Sutter North Introduces PowerKids

Meet the Sutter North PowerKids! Marcos the Monkey, Raj the Lion and Kaylee the Kangaroo are making the rounds around town visiting local schools, community events and public fairs.

The colorful characters are the newest edition to Sutter North’s campaign to fight childhood obesity – one of the biggest health problems in the United States. Overweight children are at greater risk of developing heart disease, diabetes and other serious health problems much earlier in life. They are also more likely to grow up to be overweight adults at risk for these diseases.
