Partnership with the Buffalo Bills
is a Win for WNY!
Independent Health is proud to be the Official Health and Wellness Partner of the Buffalo Bills. Since 2014, we have teamed up with the Bills to help improve the health and well-being of Western New Yorkers through several community-wide initiatives.
Health & Wellness Challenge
More than 30,000 Western New Yorkers have registered for the Independent Health and Buffalo Bills Health & Wellness Challenge. This fun and engaging six-week program is held twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall—as a way to motivate people to get moving and eat healthier. Overall, nearly 9.3 million minutes of physical activity have been logged and 3.6 million glasses of water and 2.2 million servings of fruits and vegetables consumed since the Health & Wellness Challenge first kicked off five years ago.
The 11
th
Health & Wellness Challenge is currently running through December 1. All participants who meet daily fitness and nutritional goals and complete healthy activities and challenges will earn points and be eligible to win a variety of prizes, including a $5,000 cash grand prize. To participate, visit
buffalobills.com/challenge
.
PLAY 60/Fitness for Kids Challenge
In a continued effort to make sure area youngsters are adopting healthy behaviors at an early age, the Buffalo Bills PLAY 60 Challenge and the Independent Health Foundation’s Fitness for Kids Challenge are once again being offered in collaboration to more than 10,000 local elementary school students. Together, these programs encourage students to achieve daily health goals, and prizes are awarded to students, classrooms and schools with the highest levels of participation throughout the school year. This includes $1,000 health and wellness grants and a full classroom trip to a Bills game. Additional information is available at
fitnessforkidschallenge.com
.
Healthy Options® at New Era Field
The Independent Health Foundation has brought Healthy Options to the concession stands and suites at New Era Field. Mediterranean grain bowls, smoked turkey and Greek wraps, fresh fruit and yogurt cups are among the healthier items that Bills fans can enjoy at the games.
