Foundation for Wellness is a collaborative organization, filing for 501c3 status, that houses Healthy City initiatives like FitWorth, FitWorth Kids, Food for Thought and the Mayor’s Weekly Tour de Fort Worth Bike Rides. FitWorth is a movement intended to inspire a community wide culture shift to improve health in and around Fort Worth. By coordinating existing resources, informing our community and creating opportunities for people to make healthier choices we will significantly increase healthy behaviors in our community. Government officials around the U.S. are recognizing the link between high obesity rates and the vitality of a city or region. Fort Worth’s status as a productive economic engine, a healthy hometown, and desirable destination are dependent on the near-term and sustainable choices we make to raise awareness and create opportunities for increased physical activity and proper nutrition.
