2019-2020 Grant: Cherryhill Vitality

The Cherryhill Vitality project focused on health and wellness:

  • At least once a month, we held a free, non competitive health/wellness related event, usually at De Anza Park. Activities were open to anyone in the neighborhood who wanted to join.
  • Events/sessions were intended to be educational, informal, social, and fun, another way to meet more neighbors.
  • Sessions were on health / wellness related topics and were led by neighbors and guests.
  • Activities included stretching or yoga in the park, walks, hikes, runs (over to Stevens Creek Trail) with long/short options, tai chi in the park, talks on mindfulness, meditation, nutrition, injury prevention, taping, sleep, etc., bike rides, etc.
  • Neighbors who attended at least 4 sessions received a Cherryhill branded item.
  • Neighbors who attended the most sessions were entered into a raffle for prizes.
  • Grant money was used for food and refreshments at all sessions, printing activity passports to track individual participation, purchasing Cherryhill branded items/prizes, speaker/leader stipends or supplies.
  • Easier options were made available for those needing/wanting them.
