For more than 20 years, WellFit Incorporated has helped children and families L.E.A.P.—Learn, Embrace, and Actively Practice healthy habits in mind and body.
Through our flagship Wellsville programs—from award-winning children's television programming and school and community initiatives to today's growing, multi-award-winning Kusa & Friends library of four social-emotional learning children's picture books that help young children build confidence, find their voice, manage emotions, lead with kindness, and develop healthy habits—we bring learning to life through fun, engaging, and educational experiences.
With a new Kusa & Friends adventure on the way to help children understand and manage nervous and worried feelings, our mission has remained the same: helping children grow healthier, more confident, and better prepared to navigate life's challenges.
Over the years, this work has been made possible through the shared commitment of co-founders Kathy Iorio and Tony Snow, M.D., along with thousands of dedicated volunteers who have generously shared their time and talents to help children and families thrive.
Each Kusa & Friends book includes bonus materials that help parents and educators reinforce the story's message, continue meaningful conversations, and extend learning at home and in the classroom.
Your generous Erie Gives donation helps place Kusa & Friends books, educational resources, and health literacy materials directly into the hands of children and teachers—especially those in greatest need. Your support also makes it possible to create new Kusa & Friends adventures while continuing to provide Wellsville Goes to School educational resources that inspire kindness, emotional well-being, healthy habits, and a lifelong love of learning.
Together, we're helping children grow kind hearts, brave voices, and confident minds—one story, one classroom, and one child at a time!
