STEPtember 2008


What is STEPtember?
STEPtember is America On the Move’s national month long celebration highlighting the benefits of active living and healthful eating. The month promotes America On the Move’s small change approach to achieving healthier lifestyles among individuals, families, communities and society. All you have to do to be a part of STEPtember is register any day between August 17 - September 30 and commit to making small lifestyle changes for a six-week period. By entering the STEPtember challenge, you will receive daily tips on nutrition and physical activity. You can also track your activity to determine your progress. In addition, America On the Move’s National Partner, YMCA of the USA, will host a variety of local events at more than 1,400 YMCA branches on September 20-27th so people can join the movement and experience the benefits of small steps first-hand.
In addition to the free online tools, participants in STEPtember will have the opportunity to be entered to win a Grand Prize valued at $2,500.
