PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS
Let's Celebrate!
Achieving Blue Zones Project Approved™ status is a wonderful accomplishment. Congratulations to the following organizations who are helping to make the healthy choice, the easier choice in SWFL.
According to Executive Director, Sarah Newcomb, "The Estero Chamber of Commerce wanted to partner with Blue Zones Project because we support a healthy community. We exist to enhance a vibrant business community that create dynamic economic growth and superior quality of life. A healthy lifestyle plays a huge part in that."
The Arlington of Naples achieved the Blue Zones Project "Trifecta"! The community not only became a Blue Zones Project Approved™ worksite, but also a recognized homeowner’s association and faith-based organization. The Arlington of Naples is the first organization in Southwest Florida to achieve all three designations!
“When we first heard about the Blue Zones Project as something Rock of Refuge could get involved with, we thought it was a good idea," stated Pastor Israel. "Spiritually, it makes a lot of sense to me. If we eat right and exercise, we’ll feel better and we’ll be able to worship God better. Our bodies are the temples of the Holy God, as it says in the Scriptures. If we don’t feel good, this will affect our relationship with God.”
