The 2006 Governor's Community Health Bowl kicked off on Sept.
18, which Gov. Chris Gregoire proclaimed "Washington Health
Day."
The Health Bowl offers a fun opportunity for individuals, Participating
Organizations and Schools involved in the Healthiest State in
the Nation Campaign to build challenges around fitness and knowledge
about our state's health!
In 2006, Gov. Gregoire challenged Washingtonians to log 2.5 Million
Miles of health during the six week Health Bowl. Individuals,
businesses, organizations and schools logged their miles right
here, on the Washington Health Foundation's website. Washingtonians
not only met, but surpassed the Governor's Challenge—logging
more than 3.1 million miles! Click
