Fitness Forward

The Drive 2 Fitness (D2F) is Fitness Forward's signature health promotion program. Using a unique combination of education, personalized web tracking tools, social marketing, and incentives, D2F motivates and empowers children and their families to lead healthier lifestyles. Elementary school children are challenged to achieve key daily health behaviors, for which they earn D2F Points. They are supported and encouraged throughout the year by educators, parents, mentors, and D2F Volunteer Corps members.

Students monitor their progress year-round via interactive web-based tracking tools and paper scorecards and earn rewards as they reach certain D2F point benchmarks. By bridging the school, out-of-school, and home environments, Drive 2 Fitness reaches children where they spend the majority of their waking hours. Visit the Drive 2 Fitness website here.

Drive 2 Fitness was first launched in North Carolina in 2004 in partnership with the Duke Basketball program and other community partners. Since then, we have expanded D2F to more than 50 North Carolina schools and have also expanded the program to the Boston Public Schools. In addition to North Carolina and Boston schools, we work with school districts in Alabama and Pennsylvania through the Carol M. White PEP Grant Program. Currently, D2F reaches over 10,000 children across Boston, North Carolina, Alabama and Pennsylvania schools.
