Together Counts
Mars believes that together we can make a difference, so we’re excited to be working with Together Counts. Together Counts is a nationwide program we’re sponsoring to inspire active and healthy living. The idea is to get families and community members to take a simple pledge: Eat at least one meal and do at least one activity together every week. The ways to fulfill the pledge are endless. The important thing is that you do them together.
