Multi-generational playground build

Desert Alliance for Community Empowerment (DACE), Humana Inc., KaBOOM! (a national non-profit organization that has built more than 2,000 playgrounds) and volunteers will join forces to build a one-of-a-kind, multi-generational playground in Thermal at the San Felipe Oasis. The multi-generational playground, funded primarily by Humana, was designed with personal drawings and input from local community members - from children to seniors - and will be built in six hours, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The unique space will have senior-focused and adult elements, including fitness stations and walking paths to promote good posture, balance and flexibility, as well as more traditional, kid-friendly equipment to build a truly multi-generational space. The project will also support a shade structure for use in the summer and a family reunion gathering area to inspire get-togethers at the park for years to come. Through this philanthropic effort, Humana will seek to have a long-lasting impact on the local community.

Humana Well-Being Walk

Humana will sponsor a five mile, roundtrip Well-Being Walk along Bear Creek Trail in La Quinta. The trek will provide an opportunity for members of the community to come together and walk, which is one of the simplest ways to keep physically active. During the event, participants in the walk will be encouraged to register for a Humana pedometer to track their steps. In addition, at several designated stops, participants will be able to rest, rehydrate and eat a healthy snack, which will also include one of several Humana-sponsored prizes to encourage participants to complete the journey.

Walking can:

• Give you more energy and make you feel good
• Reduce stress and help you relax
• Tone your muscles
• Increase the number of calories burned
• Strengthen your bones and muscles
• Improve your stamina and fitness
• Lower your risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes
• Give you an opportunity to socialize actively with friends and family

Registration for the walk and pedometers will open at 7 a.m., with the event starting at 8 a.m. and lasting until 10 a.m.

Humana Healthy Fun Fair

Humana will host a healthy fun fair in conjunction with the Humana Well-Being Walk where attendees will sample live music from "The Answer to Classic Rock," as well as participate in active martial arts and Zumba fitness demos. In addition, the fair will feature a Kids Fun Zone with multiple inflatables, a rock climbing wall, game booths and lawn games. There will also be a fitness center, healthy food vendors and informational booths for hospitals, local health professionals, health food stores and community partners. The La Quinta Community Fitness Center will be open with free admission all day and will provide equipment demos.

The Humana Healthy Fun Fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Humana Day at Certified Farmers' Market

Humana Day will take place at the Certified Farmers' Market in Old Town La Quinta. Vendors at the farmers' market are regionally based within the Coachella Valley area and many produce organic and spray-free products.

This year's market will play to all five senses, providing patrons with fresh food, music and culinary entertainment. Featured items will include fruits, vegetables, cut flowers, honey, eggs, nuts, herbs, bread, cheese, organic meats and others, all of which are provided by community-based growers and producers. Participants will also enjoy a special slow food demo featuring Chef Michael Vaughn of Twenty6 Restaurant and an exciting "Chopped" style cooking contest featuring La Quinta High School culinary arts students.

All of these activities will seek to encourage healthier eating among community members, which can lead to more energy, an increase in physical fitness and better overall well-being.

About the William J. Clinton Foundation

Building on a lifetime of public service, President Bill Clinton established the William J.

Since 2001 President Clinton's vision and leadership have resulted in nearly 4 million people benefiting from lifesaving HIV/AIDS treatment; more than 13,000 U.S. schools building healthier learning environments; more than 26,000 micro-entrepreneurs, small business owners, and smallholder farmers improving their livelihoods and communities; more than 3 million meals to schoolchildren in Colombia; and more than 2.2 million tons of greenhouse gases cut or abated in some of the world's largest cities. And President Clinton has redefined the way we think about giving and philanthropy through his Clinton Global Initiative, whose members have made more than 2,100 commitments that have already improved the lives of nearly 400 million people in more than 180 countries.
