this is big

 

WE DID IT, FORT WORTH! 

Thanks to you, we're now a certified BLUE ZONES Community®, the biggest in the country. But the bigger news is we're also BETTER. Since 2014, Fort Worth has undergone a neighborhood by neighborhood transformation, improving well-being through permanent changes to our built environment, policy, and social networks. More than 400 organizations and 87,000 people joined to make it happen. Now, it's time to celebrate in a BIG way!

But before we do that, we're designating Nov. 5-9 as Blue Week, with businesses offering special promotions and tips for practicing Blue Zones Project® principles of longevity. Learn more

Join us at a FREE, family-friendly Blue Zones Community Celebration on Saturday, Nov. 10 from 2 to 5 p.m. at Will Rogers Memorial Center
