Our Mission:

to provide hope, networking, and financial aid to those seeking treatment and freedom from eating disorders.

Manna Scholarship Fund (MSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing funds for residential and inpatient eating disorder treatment for individuals lacking insurance coverage or for those with inadequate insurance coverage. MSF grants scholarships to recipients by providing direct payment to partnering eating disorder treatment facilities.

"Get in the Game!"

Manna Scholarship Fund (MSF) is pleased to announce a partnership with the Atlanta Dream, Atlanta's own WNBA team and encourages you to, "Get In The Game!" Get in the Game is a community-based effort to raise awareness of the Manna Scholarship Fund as well as the Atlanta Dream, and how these programs are in support of helping the youth of our community to become involved in healthy living. Our focus is to help the community to understand how important physical health is in growing, especially when our young ladies become athletes. For example,

In a study of Division 1 NCAA athletes, over one- third of female athletes reported attitudes and symptoms placing them at risk for anorexia nervosa.

In a 2002 study of 425 female college athletes, 43% said they were "terrified" of being or becoming too heavy, and 55% reported experiencing pressure to achieve or maintain a certain weight.

The Atlanta Dream and Manna Fund want to encourage healthy body image and positive attitudes towards food and exercise. Come and join us in making this a success for everyone!

We encourage YOU to GET IN THE GAME with us!
