Dear friends and colleagues,

 

It's time again for Horizons' Spring Into Action Challenge!  We had nearly
500 participants in 2007, and we would love to see even more people get
active and participate this year!

 

Spring Into Action is an annual challenge Horizons Community Development
Associates Inc. issues to our colleagues and friends/families. This year it
takes place from April 21st to June 1st.  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 21st and
ending Sunday June 1st. 

 

*        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 are weekly prize draws for everyone who meets the weekly
goal.

 

*        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! The 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).

 

*        At the end of the Challenge a special prize will be awarded to the
team with the greatest proportion of participants who met our weekly goal
for the duration of the Challenge!
