The MoveWell Rewards program rewards participants (at all fitness levels) with cash prizes through monthly drawings. Make sure you have a device to track your fitness to participate!

MoveWell Rewards are monthly cash prizes. If your step average is above 6K/day, you can now be entered to win one of 3 cash rewards at each tier: 6K, 7K, 8K, 9K, 10K+. The higher your step average the higher the reward. That is 15 winners every month! 

6K $200
7K $300
8K $400
9K $500
10K $600

Each month a randomized drawing will be held for 3 rewards within each tier. Drawings will be held by the 5th of the following month. So, for example, the winners for June are determined by the drawing on July 5. You must join by the 15th of the month to be included in that month’s drawing.
