Help brand Pleasanton as one of the healthiest places to live, work and raise a family.

Local business, non-profit and healthcare leaders are joining forces to engage individuals, companies and families in the third annual city-wide Healthy Habits Challenge. The goal of the Challenge is to engage as many people as possible in a new healthy practice, of their own choosing, for up to 30 days.

The 2014 Healthy Habits Challenge takes place throughout the month of September.

Organizers intend to make the most of social media to engage participants, track progress, provide information about all things healthy around the community and a place where participants can share information.
