FHN Miles and Minutes Is UNDERWAY!
Sign up for some healthy competition and help AQUIN WIN!
Your summer sports and other physical activity can help Aquin win cash prizes!
FHN’s Miles And Minutes program encourages you to be active as you log various types of physical activity to win prize money for the school system of your choice (Aquin Catholic Schools).
Register for this online program at www.fhn.org/milesandminutes.
All of the rules of the competition are there, as well as information about how miles and minutes will be calculated to determine the winning school systems. A calculator on the website automatically converts minutes of almost any type of physical activity into miles, and prizes will be awarded in miles in two categories: • School system with the most average “miles” logged per participant • School system with the most “miles” total Miles are normalized based on number of students to help ensure that all schools have an equal chance to win.
First prize for each category is $2000, second prize is $1000, and third prize is $500!
Prize money will be awarded in September. Competition begins Monday, May 29 and runs through Sunday, September 3. Participants (must be age 12 and above) can support any school system, and running totals will always be on the website as well as reported through the media.
