Client Charity Contest Update
Best of luck to our in office client contestants for the month of November. Clients who choose to participate will be given some extra motivation this month as they compete against each other for the grand prize. This contest costs $10.00 and is a win-win for everyone involved. The winner takes ½ the money raised and the other ½ goes to their charity of choice. Participants weigh in the week of Nov 2-6, then again the week of Nov 30- Dec 4th. Whichever participant loses the most percentage of weight loss wins the contest. Congratulations participants and may the biggest loser win.
