Dear Friends and Colleagues, 

The Horizons Spring Into Action Challenge registration deadline has been
extended to April 17th 2009. 

 

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
