Community Moving Challenge Offers $10,000

What would your community do with $10,000 to get more kids, more active, more often?

Saskatchewan Blue Cross and Saskatchewan in motion are challenging Saskatchewan communities to take part in the 2015 Get Our Community Moving Challenge powered by Saskatchewan Blue Cross.  By taking on the challenge, your community has the chance to win a grand prize of $10,000 for a community project or initiative that increases physical activity opportunities for children and youth.

This is an exciting opportunity to get more kids, more active, more often in your community! The prize money can fund any project, program or initiative that increases physical activity opportunities for children and youth. The challenge will take place March 2 – 16, 2015. This year’s challenge is shaping up to be the most exciting yet, with the addition of a $5000 runner up prize, a $1000 school prize, as well as individual incentives!
