Senior Fitness Challenge Walk-A-Thon winners

This past November, 150 elders participated in our Senior Fitness Challenge across the Choctaw Nation.

Upon completion of the ten-week challenge, the top 5 from each community are invited to compete at the Walk-A-Thon and receive a new pair of shoes. This event is full of fellowship, friendly competition and fun!

The community with the highest average score receives the traveling trophy to display at their community center. Congratulations to District 10, Atoka, who averaged 8,180 points.

Yakoke, to all the seniors for participating, and we look forward to more activities in the future – Choctaw Wellness Center Staff.
