The Step Up for Summer Sweepstakes and World Record Challenge is a national effort from UnitedHealthcare to encourage Americans to make a public commitment to become healthier. By signing and sharing the pledge, you may raise awareness and kick-start the conversation around making health a priority, both this summer and year-round.
Throughout the summer, we encourage people to make a commitment to their health and enable them to become eligible for a chance to win one of our many fitness-related prizes, including a Peloton® Bike , a set of TaylorMade golf clubs, a Rory Junior Golf set and $50 Nike gift cards.
As part of the effort, UnitedHealthcare, including our team members, are seeking to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for most pledges received for a health campaign in one month (June 15 – July 15, 2021). UnitedHealthcare will also donate $1 on behalf of the first 60,000 people to sign the pledge for a total donation of $60,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs to help reduce childhood obesity.
