BOISE â Sixty elected officials in Idaho completed the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Healthâs annual Steps for Schools walking challenge, earning $50,000 for schools in the state. The Steps for Schools walking challenge encourages Idaho legislators and other elected officials to be active, set a
good example and earn money to donate to a school or school district of their choice.Â
The schools can use those funds to purchase equipment or sponsor programming that encourages children to be active. These funds also can be used for any COVID-19 relief efforts happening at the school.
Participants had two options in this yearâs challenge: average 5,000 steps per day in February to earn $500 or average 10,000 steps per day to earn $1,000 for a school or school district. There were 40 participants who reached the 10,000-step goal this year.
