(Chelsea Update would like to thank Matt Pegouskie for the information in this story.)
The former Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation’s Board of Directors approved a name and logo change for the foundation at the August Board of Directors meeting.
The foundation is now being called the 5 Healthy Towns Foundation (5HF).
The name change:
- Allows the Foundation’s name to promote their purpose, which is to create healthy communities in Chelsea, Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester and Stockbridge.
- Provides increased awareness of the 5 town, regional, wellness planning intentions of the Board of Directors.
- Reduces organizational names and acronyms associated with the Foundation.
- Strengthens the connection between 5 Healthy Towns Wellness Planning and the Foundation
- Aligns the Foundation’s name and our existing website and email addresses.
“We like the inclusive, energetic sound of 5 Healthy Towns,” said Amy Heydlauff, CEO, 5HF. “It makes clear where we’re going and with whom.”
The rollout of the new logo and name will happen gradually. Printed materials will be replaced as new copies are needed. Directional signs will be replaced over the next 12 months.
Folks will also start to notice 5 Healthy Towns Foundation (5HF) and the 5H logo on letterhead, press releases, social media and other places where ease of revision is an option.
The 5 Healthy Towns Foundation is a tax-exempt private foundation governed by a volunteer board of directors. The foundation serves the populations included in the school districts of Chelsea, Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester and Stockbridge. 5HF will grant funds for projects dedicated to creating a culture of wellness and sustainable improvements in health.
