The donation will make it possible for Lifelines to provide educational materials to middle schools and high schools in Texas and to train school nurses and counselors to better help students with disorders.
According to the National Eating Disorder Association, 80 percent of adolescent girls feel bad about their bodies, and 28 percent of boys are dissatisfied with their weight. An estimated 1,000 Americans will die from an eating disorder this year.

WHB hopes to set a precedent in the business world for corporate support of this fight for our young people's lives."
