The GOOD New Year Challenge: Get Healthy

We’re looking for a great idea to help a local community get healthy, from people’s feet to teeth to brains. Submit your ideas here to apply for $1,000 to fund your idea.

Interested in getting into shape, detoxing, catching up on some rest, and feeling healthy for 2012? Come up with a workshop or project idea—teach a healthy cooking class, give a free yoga class in the park, or organize a walk-a-thon. You get the idea. Then, submit your idea here.

Individuals, groups and organizations can submit ideas. We’ll review submissions and on January 24th, we’ll open it up to a public vote. Then you can rally your colleagues and friends to get behind your effort and join the GOOD community in deciding which is most deserving of the cash to make it happen.
