More about the challenge
Anne E. Carragher
Anne was the first Director of Recreational Sports (now University Recreation). She was an amazing woman, well known and loved on this campus for 15 years. Anne passed away in 2006 from breast cancer and we carry this program on in her name and in her spirit. The challenge was founded in 1997 and it originated as a fun way to motivate the SU community to do something healthy during the dreary winter months.
The Challenge
This is a six week opportunity to challenge yourself to live a more healthy life by setting a personal improvement goal and tracking various aspects of wellness. Teams of four come together to encourage each other and to promote a little friendly competition.
Team Registration
Teams of four can consist of all students, all faculty/staff, or students and faculty/staff. Each team must have a team captain who's responsible for encouraging members to submit their weekly scorecards and who'll serve as the point of contact during the challenge. Registration opens online January 7, 2013.
Scorecards
Score keeping begins January 21 - March 3, 2013. Each team member is responsible for completing and submitting their weekly scorecard online. Additional Details will be provided to participants.
