Silver Bow Kiwanis Lighten Your Load

Well, it's sort of a Butte, Montana service event. It generates funds that will be given to the food bank and to other charities through the work of the participants, so this is where I'm putting this...

The Lighten Your Load program from the Butte Family YMCA is a team driven weight-loss program. The hope is that this will become an annual event in Butte to raise money for the Butte Family YMCA and other local charities, as well as to raise food for the Butte Emergency Food Bank.

Get your team of 5 together to lose some weight. Initial weigh in is Tuesday, January 4, 2011. the entry fee per person is $20 (people can be on multiple teams, but they need to register on each team). 1/2 of the proceeds will be split among the charities of the top three losing teams. Participants are also encouraged to donate either $1 or 1 pound of food for each pound they lose through the contest period to the Butte Emergency Food Bank.

Silver Bow Kiwanis is sponsoring 5 (yes, five) teams.

The teams include:

• Doreena
• Sara
• Darla
• Betsy
• Lauren
• Kristi
• Sandy
• Julie
• Joy
• Marsha
• Shane
• Merle
• Roger
• Ken
• Tom

Have Fun!
