A Wellness Benefit approved by NOACC

"Chamber Challenge"

following "Dump Your Plump" rules

Three times a year the Wellness Council offers a ten-week exercise and eat right contest to NOACC Chamber members. Following the nationally recognized "Dump Your Plump" rules, local chamber contests use a name they choose, such as Beachwood Bulge Busters, Rocky River Round Off or the Brecksville Wellness Challenge. The contest can be used to enhance your organization's community image, to increase membership and/or as a fundraising event. Obesity is endemic in today's society. Offering a safe, effective and proven means to increase exercise while losing weight is truly a community-minded activity. The contest is free to the Chambers and their member companies.
