Doing well by doing good: Bob Edwards and Lynda Perry build research and charity endeavors through YJ 4 Kidz

From Bob Edwards


Bob Edwards and Lynda Perry are the founders of YJ Sciences, Inc.—a Vancouver, British Columbia-based company that commits to bringing together personal health and individual wealth through a person-to-person networking enterprise. In conjunction to the company’s core philosophy, “doing well by doing good,” the founders have developed a research and charitable establishment out of their business’ commercial system and corporate programs, and they called it YJ 4 Kidz.

YJ 4 Kidz is a charity project that places 50% of the annual corporate profits from the sale of Bob and Lynda’s company’s flagship products to specific children-centered charities. The main goal is to embark on researches and other medical developments dedicated to preventing various diseases and preserving the health and long-term wellness of children.

Through a million-dollar grant from Bob Edwards and Lynda Perry, YJ 4 Kidz started with the Lynda Perry Oncology Fund and later, the TACL Program in Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia & Lymphoma. The latter -- which is being coordinated through the BC Children’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and 33 member institutions throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil -- was designed to advance the lives of young people suffering from leukemia and lymphoma through the development of technologies that are capable of preventing the reoccurrence of these diseases later in life.

Watch the above short feature of Dr. Kirk Schultz at the Child and Family Research Institute at BC Children’s Hospital talking about finding new therapies for children with leukemia. Made possible by the daily sales activities of YouthJuice brand partners, the TACL Program will significantly benefit children of all countries and will assist in the understanding of disease progression and life-long health challenges for children worldwide.
