Sault Tribe Promotes Fitness with “Cash” Competition

The Sault Tribe Strategic Alliance for Health has teamed up with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to offer an incentive-driven walking competition to residents, according to a piece published yesterday in the Daily Press of Escanaba, Mich.

Called “Let's Get Moving,” the competition gives cash awards to Sault communities that are the most active. There are four communities that will be participating.

Prizes will be based on how many miles residents within each community log from May 1 to June 30. The community with the most average miles per team member will receive $2,000 from Blue Cross Blue Shield; second-place gets $1,500; third-place $1,000; and fourth-place $500. Winners are required to use the prize money in a way that will help keep community members active.
