All Healthier 901 Members Automatically Entered to Win
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Looking for a way to kickstart your day? Do you need a boost to help you become more active? We’re here to help! Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare announced its Healthier 901 sponsor Nike will give away a new pair of sneakers every day during the month of August, in anticipation of the second annual Healthier 901 Fest on Saturday, Aug. 31, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Shelby Farms Park. Healthier 901 Fest is free and open to the public.
Healthier 901, powered by Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, is addressing two huge health concerns in the Mid-South – heart disease and cancer – by empowering our community to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle. The goal is to lose one million pounds because obesity is a contributing risk factor for both chronic diseases, and Memphis is one of the heaviest cities in the country.
Leading up to Healthier 901 Fest and thanks to a generous donation from Healthier 901 sponsor Nike, 31 lucky Healthier 901 members will take home a brand-new pair of sneakers this month to support them on their trek toward a healthier lifestyle. Sponsor giveaways are just one of many perks available to Healthier 901’s more than 7,000 members, and membership in the lifestyle program is free of charge.
“What we eat and how we move greatly influences how we feel. Healthier 901 aims to ignite new health and wellness habits, which can significantly improve our longevity and reduce our risk for many long-term illnesses like heart disease and cancer,” said Methodist Le Bonheur President and CEO Michael Ugwueke, DHA, FACHE. “We are sincerely grateful to Healthier 901 sponsors and community partners like Nike for rising to the challenge and investing in a better quality of life for Memphians and Healthier 901 members all across the Mid-South.”
Daily giveaway drawings are held at 3 p.m. CDT, with sneakers awarded to a different winner every day from Aug. 1 through Aug. 31. Existing Healthier 901 members are automatically entered to win, and non-members can enter to win by creating a free account with Healthier 901. All contest winners will be notified via email and recognized on Healthier 901’s digital platforms.

NOTICE TO ALL STUDENT ATHLETES: National Collegiate Athletic Association rules strictly prohibit high school student-athletes from receiving special arrangements or “extra benefits” based upon athletic ability.
