This recognition award, sponsored by Blount BEneFITs, was established in 2009 to recognize the efforts of Blount County schools and businesses that are taking steps within their organizations to promote and embrace healthy living through creative programs that encourage good nutrition and increased physical activity. Previous winners include weight loss challenges, running clubs and other exercise programs, some of which were long-standing programs and others that were start-ups.
Ready, Set, Move Award Application for Businesses/Organizations & Schools that made efforts in 2015 to promote healthy living within their organizations is available now.
Please pass this around to others or feel free to actually nominate an organization and gather the necessary info for the award submittal that is due by no later than April 22. It’s an honor to award those that are trying to promote healthy living in this community, and we hope to see many applications this year!
Overall winners from last year were Alcoa Elementary, Maryville City Schools (as a business), Maryville Farmers Market, Cherokee Health Systems, and Denso.
