Healthy Holiday Hustle 2018: Hustle for Quality of Life

When it started, the Healthy Holiday hustle…

was a way to motivate each other through the holidays to stay healthy and active during a time of endless holiday celebrations. However, its mission isn’t just relevant during the holidays, it is something we can live out all year long. Exercise and healthy habits not only allow us to live longer, they allow us to live BETTER. The Hustle has hopefully inspired all of you to improve your QUALITY OF LIFE, not just during the holidays, but all year round.

In 2018, we wanted to choose a charity that embodied what the Hustle hopes to achieve. After much thought and consideration, we landed on two- Enriched Living and The First Tee of Greater Detroit.

Enriched Living provides residential services to individuals with intellectual disabilities and severe and persistent mental illness. Through the Hustle, we provided funds for these individuals to improve their QUALITY OF LIFE- community center memberships, healthier food options and more organized activities so they can live BETTER.

The First Tee started as a way to bring affordable junior golf programs to youth and communities that don't have them. Not only does this organization teach kids the skills of the game of golf, they teach them the skills of life. Through their nine core values and nine healthy habits, this program improves QUALITY OF LIFE for these kids and promotes healthy, active lifestyles for youth, giving them the opportunity to live BETTER as they continue to develop into adulthood.

The 2018 Hustle was long- 40 days of fitness fun. We organized three donation classes (CycleBar, Barry’s Bootcamp and Lean Body Studio) and through the donations of over 100 people, were able to donate $6,840 to these two charities! We celebrated a successful Hustle in Grand Rapids with Enriched Living- including a Fun Run, Awards Ceremony and of course, champagne spray!
