Today, leading health and well-being company, Humana Inc. (NYSE:
HUM), announced the winners of its 2021 Go365 National Step
Challenge – a health and wellness competition that focuses on
improving the fitness of employees from companies across the
country. The National Step Challenge is a competition in which
employer groups with two or more Go365 members compete for the
highest team average step count. All winning teams receive a
donation to their local Feeding America member food bank in their
name.
The 2021 Challenge featured over 33,000 participants from
competing organizations that collectively logged 7.2 billion steps
leading to the equivalent of one million meals* donated to Feeding
America. The competition, which started in 2018, has helped provide
a total equivalent of 4 million meals to Feeding America over a
four-year period. The 2021 meal donations were made in December to
make a more immediate impact during the holiday season and winter
months.
Participants competed based on a team average daily step count.
The organizations competed by team size, ranging from the “Small”
division with 2-10 members, to the “Jumbo” division with over 100
members. Depending on a team’s results, meals were donated in the
name of each winning team in sums of either 30,000, 15,000 or 5,000
meals. In total, sixty teams received donations to local food banks
serving the communities where they are headquartered.
“It is thrilling to see our clients achieving their best health
while improving the health of the communities we serve,” said
Heather Cox, Chief Digital Health and Analytics Officer. “By
joining Go365 digital experiences and movement for a cause,
participants of the Step Challenge are helping to address food
insecurity. This powerful combination has yielded an astounding 4
million meals provided to Feeding America since the challenge began
in 2018.”
“More than 38 million people, including 12 million children,
face hunger in the U.S.,” said Lauren Biedron, Vice President of
Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. “With support from
Humana, the Feeding America network is able to provide more meals
to families who struggle to put food on their tables. Feeding
America is grateful to National Step Challenge participants for
their ongoing commitment to fighting hunger in communities where
they live and serve.”
Food insecurity, defined as the lack of access to enough
nutritionally adequate foods to live an active, healthy life,
contributes to poor health, lower productivity and higher medical
costs. Feeding America supports programs that prevent food waste
and improve food security.
Participants could benefit as well through Points added to their
Go365 account. Points were awarded for being a part of the
Challenge-related activity, as well as for logging daily step
counts.
