Celebrate National Nutrition Month

Are you working on healthier eating habits this year? View the full list of programs and events you can attend during March to grow your nutrition knowledge.

March Madness MoveSpring Challenge

March Madness is here, and in the spirit of the season, we’ve got a month-long team tournament to get you motivated. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of 16 teams, and each week March 1-31 brings a new matchup for total steps. If your team loses a round, you’ll still get to compete each week, but your team won’t “advance”. The final unbeaten team will win the tournament and the ultimate bragging rights! Average 8,000 steps per day during the challenge to earn program credit toward WellBAMA Rewards.
