This 12-week program features insights, resources and activities in healthy eating and fitness. The competition prize includes $5,000 and a wellness celebration, which will be awarded to the top two churches whose members demonstrate the highest degree of dedication to the program (e.g. member sign-ups, member participation levels).

Although this Challenge was developed specifically with black women in mind, all members are encouraged to commit to the betterment of their minds, bodies and souls.
