WASHINGTON, D.C.— American Beverage, the American Beverage Foundation for a Healthy America (ABFHA) and the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) today announced nine winning cities of the 2026 Healthy and Sustainable Communities Awards.

The 2026 grant recipients – Portland (OR), Sacramento (CA), Arlington (TX), Findlay (OH), Riviera Beach (FL), Schenectady (NY), Spokane (WA), Bridgeport (CT) and Rochester (MN) – received a total of $1,000,000 in grants for their initiatives promoting healthier lifestyles and advancing environmental sustainability. Incredibly grateful for a $150,000 grant to complete the urban prairie project in Findlay! This is going to be a great improvement on under utilized land and with this grant we will be able to turn it into a beautiful community amenity.
