Eva Longoria Visits Burbank Community YMCA

Actress, director, producer and activist Eva Longoria visited kids at the Burbank Community YMCA Children’s Care Center on June 10 to mark Brita’s donation of water filtration pitchers and dispensers to YMCA locations nationwide.

Longoria talked with the kids about the importance of drinking water, particularly in the summer, and helped them make their own water blends infused with fresh fruits and vegetables at the Center’s playground.

As part of the ongoing effort to support organizations fighting childhood obesity and working towards healthier futures for our children, Brita is making a multi-year commitment to the YMCAs of the USA.

This commitment involves:
• Helping with the implementation of the Y’s Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPA) Standards for Early Learning and Afterschool Programs
• An annual donation of thousands of Brita products to locations nationwide for three years, giving kids participating in afterschool programs access to clean, clear, filtered water

Brita’s donation continues the brand’s support of “Drink Up,” the collaboration launched by the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) in September 2013. With PHA Honorary Chair First Lady Michelle Obama at the helm, Drink Up encourages everyone to drink more water more often.
