The program starts March 3. As a part of the program, the HAWC will host a food demonstration about healthy lunches during the work day on March 17.

For making simple choices, you can score one, two, and three point baskets. Individuals will turn in their score sheets on April 1 when the HAWC wraps up the competition with a game of "Knock Out" at the James Gym. Everyone who completes the competition will receive a March Madness cookbook. Join us for a little fun this March, in developing new habits for a healthier you.
