Put Your Best Foot Forward

Hold a walk-a-thon to raise awareness about the benefits of rehabilitation and physical therapy. Invite employees, patients and their families, as well as others in your community. Choose a Saturday during October to have the event. Start advertising it on the radio, in local newspapers, and in your facility at the beginning of September. Charge a small admission fee that you can later donate to a health-related charity in your area. Give participants a raffle ticket when they check in. When everyone finishes walking, pick prize winners to receive “Positive People, Positive Results” Automatic Umbrellas and “Thanks For All You Do” Water Bottles With Healthy Snacks.
