WNBA Cares Launches Inaugural Fit Month

The inaugural WNBA FIT Month began in August with a special focus on highlighting the importance of being active, eating healthy and playing together.

Throughout August, the WNBA along with its teams will join community members and partners in hosting health and wellness programs and events, while teaching fans of all ages the values of the game such as hard work, discipline, leadership and teamwork.  WNBA players will share their extensive training and nutrition regimens through digital and social media, and teams will use in-arena and social media assets to promote their activities and motivate fans to live healthy, active lifestyles.

Fans are encouraged to join the WNBA and its teams for the WNBA FIT Month Challenge, which launched on August 1 and continues all month.  To participate, fans can download the NBA FIT App, select a WNBA team and log workout minutes.  Participants have the opportunity to win tickets to attend a game involving the team they represent in the Challenge. 

The WNBA and Spalding will host more than 300 youth as part of a four-clinic series, including one court refurbishment at a local school.  The series, led by WNBA clinicians and current and former WNBA players, will feature basketball instruction and fitness programs. Clinic participants in all four markets will receive tickets to attend a WNBA game.

As part of WNBA FIT Month, the WNBA and its teams will also partner with Bright Pink for WNBA Breast Health Awareness, which will focus on helping women understand and reduce their risk for breast and ovarian cancers.

The WNBA, in partnership with international advocacy organization Global Citizen, is encouraging women to take action by completing the WNBA Bright Pink Assess Your Risk quiz, an online tool that provides a personalized assessment of risk for breast and ovarian cancers. For every fan who completes the quiz, the WNBA will donate two tickets for a WNBA Breast Health Awareness game to those affected by and engaging in the fight against breast and ovarian cancers.
