Wellness and Rewards Program Go365 Will Engage
Thousands of Clients in Fun Competition Where Teams Can Log Steps
While Fighting Food Insecurity
Leading wellness and rewards program, Go365® from Humana Inc.
(NYSE: HUM), and Feeding America®, the largest hunger-relief
organization in the United States, announced today that they will
team up to support local food banks across the U.S. through the
Go365 National Step Tournament. Go365 will donate one million meals
to food banks located in the communities of the top competing teams
that accumulate the most steps during three rounds of the
tournament.
Go365 members representing more than 45,000 teams from large and
small companies across 50 states will join together to walk, run
and exercise while tracking steps on their personal wearable
devices. The first of three rounds of the Tournament begins on
September 10 and the winners will be announced in early
December.
“At Go365, we’re excited to join our clients and members in
supporting local food banks,” said Jeff Reid, Humana’s senior vice
president of wellness solutions. “We have the opportunity to help
our members achieve their best health while helping increase access
to healthy meals for vulnerable populations in the communities
where they live.”
In addition to the National Step Tournament, Go365 and Humana
are donating to Feeding America – a nationwide network of 200 food
banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs across the
country, including those in Humana’s Bold Goal communities. These
efforts are focused on improving health and accessibility to food
in local communities. Humana’s Bold Goal is to improve the health
of the communities it serves 20 percent by 2020.
Food insecurity is not an uncommon problem in the U.S. among
Go365 members, 13.6 percent of those who had taken Go365’s Health
Assessment self-reported experiencing food insecurity within the
last year.1 According to one report, 54 percent of people seeking
assistance from Feeding America had someone in the household
working full-time.2
At Feeding America we know how important access to nutritious
food is to a person’s overall well-being,” said Nancy Curby, Senior
Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Feeding America. “We
are grateful for our partners at Go365 and Humana and look forward
to turning steps into meals for our neighbors in need.”
Go365 serves approximately 5 million members nationwide and by
integrating rewards with health, the program provides tools and
support to help members live healthier lives and reduce overall
health claims costs.3 For every verified, healthy action they take,
members earn Points and Bucks towards rewards in the Go365 Mall,
such as e-gift cards, fitness devices and apparel, charitable
donations, and discounts for products.
