"Best Bones Forever" Campaign.

"Best Bones Forever" is a campaign to help promote adolescent bone health to teach girls ages 9 - 14 and their parents about the importance of calcium, vitamin D, and physical activity for building strong bones. The campaign embraces an issue close to every girl's heart - friendship- and urges girls and their BFFs (best friends forever) to "grow strong together, and stay strong forever".
