“Pounds-4-Pride” (P4P) is a public health campaign started in 2009 by Rainbow Health Initiative. P4P is a local health movement that challenges people to define measures of successful health improvement goals and move forward toward obtaining them. P4P will enlist individuals and organizations to engage in healthy living by submitting a personal challenge. Some examples of challenges include specific goals like losing 10 pounds or more general like eating more fruits and vegetables or learning new ways to cook healthily. P4P will use blog, videos, and an online support network which P4P members can access information & resources about how to reach their health improvement goal. Pounds-4-Pride will run for a 6 months, from July 2010 to January 2011, culminating with The Winter Walk™ held on January 29, 2011.

Rainbow Health Initiative will host free and low cost opportunities for members of our community to get involved like Yoga classes, healthy cooking classes, a Hula Hoop Boot Camp, discounted fitness and nutritional counseling, walking groups and much more!
