A message from Executive Director Cindy Caldwell Boost Your Wellness Initiative Join us for the Fitness Challenge Being healthy is always on our minds as we head into a new year, whether it’s making smarter food choices or being in better physical shape. In 2011, the Beachwood Chamber of Commerce launched its Fitness Challenge with the idea that “Healthy Employees Means Healthy Businesses”. Now celebrating its fourth year, the Fitness Challenge will be held on Thursday, March 19, 2015 from 5-7:30 p.m. at the Mandel Jewish Community Center in Beachwood. Teams accumulate points by choosing from an array of activities, including 3-on-3 basketball, basketball shoot around, 1-mile walk/run, 1-mile team relay, yoga and spinning. Each participant will receive a goody bag and be eligible for raffle prizes. This event is a great way to boost team building and create a greater awareness of an active lifestyle among employees. The presenting sponsor for the event is the Cleveland Clinic and its Beachwood Family Health and Surgery Center, Hillcrest and South Pointe Hospital locations. Supporting sponsors include The Mandel Jewish Community Center, Dollar Bank, Peoples Bank and DDR. Registration is open now. Even if you don’t have enough people to form a team, please feel free to join the Beachwood Chamber team! To register online, visit Beachwood.org.
