Event Planning
Tips and tools for healthier event planning
You like to take care of your body and mind, so why wouldn’t you want to host events where the healthy choice is the easy choice for everyone? While no two events are exactly the same, there are many ways planners can encourage health for all their guests. Simple things like making sure water and other sugar-free, soda and alcohol alternatives are available can make a big difference in how people feel during your event and how they remember it afterwards. We recognize 5 areas where opportunities to promote health exist and have organized tips and resources for each.
Safety
Nutrition
Environmental Stewardship
Physical Activity
Prevention and Overall Wellness
