Mainstreet Marshfield is hoping to partner with Marshfield Rotary and District 6250 on a matching grant for the National Fitness Campaign (NFC). NFC operates on a mission to build healthy communities across America in partnership with the country's largest healthcare providers. Founded in 1979, NFC has been helping people live more active and healthy lives across the country for over 40 years, and has evolved into America's largest public-private partnership in support of outdoor wellness.

NFC develops partnerships with municipalities, schools and other organizations nationwide to fund, build, promote and activate a comprehensive community wellness campaign, based around the Fitness Court, the world's best outdoor gym designed for free use by any one at any age and fitness level. In addition to the Fitness Court, the campaign delivers healthy city design and consulting services, grant funding, digital programming and tools, ambassador resources, and public relations initiatives to encourage Americans everywhere to walk, jog, cycle, and exercise more outdoors every day.

Our proposal requests $5,000 in funding from the Clubs to be matched with our $5,000 and then by the District to obtain support for completion of the project. We have already received grant funding of $55,000 towards the $180,000 completion costs, which have been outlined in the proposal. We appreciate you taking an interest in supporting the health and wellbeing of community members of all ages through this exciting program. Questions? Want to get involved?
