WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CROSS POSTINGS
Dear friends and colleagues,
This coming Friday will mark the first day of spring! It is time for
Horizons' Spring Into Action Challenge! There were over 500 participants in
2008, and we would love to see even more people get active and participate
this year!
This year we are looking forward to having more international friends and
colleagues join us for this Spring Into Action challenge! So join us on our
journey, get active and see what people in other parts of the country are
doing to stay fit!
Spring Into Action is an annual challenge that Horizons Community
Development Associates Inc. issues to our colleagues and friends/families.
This year it takes place from April 20th to May 31st. The purpose of the
campaign is for all of us to get physically active, and fit for summer!
Challenge Details:
* Our challenge runs for six weeks, beginning Monday April 20th and
ending Sunday May 31st.
* The goal is for members of each team to accumulate at least 30
minutes of physical activity a day for five days each week.
* 30 minutes of activity can be accumulated throughout a 24- hour
period in a minimum of 10-minute blocks of time.
* There is an opportunity for every team and individual to win a
weekly prize draw as long as they meet their 30 minutes per day for five
days a week.
* The Individual Winner's grand prize is $100 to be used toward
anything the winner would like, related to physical activity (e.g., new
running shoes, swim passes, family outings to the gym).
* All the participants who achieved the goal of 30 minutes a day for
five days each week, for the whole six weeks of the challenge will be
entered into a Grand Prize draw at the end of the Challenge!
* As a Team grand prize, Horizons Community Development Associates
Inc. will make a $150 donation (in the winning Team's name) to a local
sport/recreation fund for kids, chosen by the Team with the greatest
proportion of participants who meet our weekly goal for the duration of the
Challenge
Activity Ideas:

fun, and of course. SPRING Into Action!
