After a thrilling three weeks, the Olympic Games Rio 2016 ended with closing ceremonies on Sunday, but Texas Children’s Employee Health and Wellness team is challenging you to keep going for the gold. The Go for the Gold well-being challenge, which kicked off on August 1, encourages staff and employees to be physically active for 30 minutes a day for at least 20 days throughout the month. The challenge ends Wednesday, August 31, so there’s still time to finish strong.
To help give you that final push to the finish line, the Marketing/PR Department has partnered with Employee Health and Wellness, and is giving you a chance to win two tickets to the Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans football game on October 2. The Texans-Titans game is sponsored by Texas Children’s Hospital and will celebrate the National Football League’s Play 60 campaign. Play 60 encourages children to be active 60 minutes a day to help decrease childhood obesity.
