After running the New York City Marathon last November and adopting a vegan diet, radio personality and long-time Howard Stern co-host Robin Quivers took a page from Michelle Obama's book and joined in the fight for healthy eating by raising money and awareness for programs that inspire healthy eating in young people.

Through her charity organization 15 Foundation, Quivers raised $20,000 each for food education programs The Sylvia Center and Family Cook Productions.


The Sylvia Center is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness in farming and children's nutrition by providing hands-on experiences with growing and cooking healthy food. Kids learn about good food through cooking classes and on-site farming education, discovering the many uses of seasonal fruits and vegetables and how they can implement them in their home.

Family Cook Productions works to bring families together by teaching the importance of eating homemade meals, cooking with fresh ingredients, and eating as a family. Through the organization's Jr./Teen Battle Chef Program, young people develop teamwork and culinary skills while also gaining knowledge and appreciation for nutrition and healthy, sustainable food. They also learn how they can play a significant role in affecting their friends' and family's food choices, helping to prevent unhealthy weight and associated diseases.
Yesterday, Robin Quivers presented both organizations with a $20,000 check at the Williamsburg Community Center in Brooklyn, NY. In attendance were several Teen Battle Chefs who have been working for the Sylvia Center as culinary interns at NYCHA community centers in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx.
