Want to help shape a healthier Marshfield? If so, we would like to invite you to join us as a member of the Marshfield Clinic and Healthy Lifestyles - Marshfield Area Coalition’s Physical Activity Committee! As a committee member, you will work alongside other committee members to propose, promote, and execute projects that will engage residents in local physical fitness opportunities. Current projects include: the 2016 Bike Rodeo, Apple Walking Paths, Walk/Bike to School Challenge, and Safe Routes to School. This committee meets every month for one hour, and committee members can expect an additional commitment of 1-2 hours per month to complete project related tasks.
The upcoming 2018 Bicycle Discount Program is fast approaching! In a few short months, families and youths will be out again, zipping across town on their bikes to earn prizes from local businesses and restaurants. Marshfield Clinic and the Healthy Lifestyles - Marshfield Area Coalition organizes the Bicycle Discount Program (BDP) to encouraging bicycling as transportation, improve physical activity levels in residents, increase foot traffic for local business owners, and promote a healthier natural environment! As a BDP advocate, you will work alongside the Physical Activity Committee and local businesses and community organizations to develop ways to encourage and track participation in the program. Lend your time and skills to ensure that this year’s program is the most successful yet!
If you are interested in this opportunity, please email us at healthy.lifestyles@marshfieldclinic.org or call us at 715-221-8400.
