Barbie was thrilled to receive the supply to help keep her family committed to drinking more water. "We are a very active family," noted Barbie. "We go to the park, we go fishing, hiking, walking...so we need the hydration!"

Barbie's daughter Raven's after-school drama class was the perfect place to inspire healthy habits for others in her community as well. A Nestle Pure Life representative and Barbie went to the drama class to surprise the students with a year's supply of Nestle Pure Life bottled water.

"Barbie's commitment to her family's health and happiness is clear," said Maude Ancone, Brand Manager. "We were so excited to also provide a year's supply of Nestle Pure Life water to the class and encourage healthy hydration!"

For the past two years, Nestle Pure Life has asked families to make a pledge to swap one 12-ounce sugared beverage a day with water for a year. During this time, over 100,000 families have participated and this simple step is helping to eliminate billions of calories from families' diets in the U.S.[1] With obesity on the rise, this small effort can make a big impact towards a healthier nation.
