There are many ways to sponsor the Washington Health Foundation! |
2006 Governor's Health Bowl
This important component of the Healthiest State in the Nation Campaign supports
Governor Christine Gregoire's commitment to a healthier Washington. This six week
event rallies citizens, organizations and students of our state to raise awareness
to improve health. More than
35,000
individuals,
more than 950
organizations and students from over
over 350
schools will be participating this year alone! There are many high profile events,
press opportunities and activities associated with the Bowl.
thrive! magazine
thrive! is a popular, quarterly magazine which has a circulation of over
150,000 statewide. We use our magazine to showcase Champion and community success
stories, and to educate readers on how they can help make Washington the Healthiest
State in the Nation. Articles on health and wellness and profiles of celebrities
(such as Jay Buhner!) help to make this magazine a fun and exciting way to promote
health in our state. Ad purchases are also available.
Heroes of Health Care Reception
Each year we acknowledge those that heroically strive to make Washington the Healthiest
State in the Nation. This celebration and awards ceremony has honored individuals
and organizations from around the state doing exceptional work in promoting health
and wellness.
Health Fairs and Conferences
Culturally appropriate, community-based health fairs and conferences are designed
to reach populations experiencing health disparities. As an example, WHF's Latina
Health Fair is an innovative way to meet the unique health care needs of women by
giving free medical exams, including mammograms, diabetes testing and dental screenings.
Health fairs and conferences are an important part of how WHF reaches out to the
community.
