Let's Move Palm Beach County Month
WHEREAS, the Village of Tequesta takes special notice and acknowledges exceptional organizations that help
residents who live, work and play within the jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, in 2014 Digital Vibez became a nonprofit to reach out to underserved youth in Palm Beach County by
empowering them through dance fitness,technology and the arts; and
WHEREAS, Digital Vibez partners with the Palm Health Foundation, annually to host The Let's Move: Commit to
Change Physical Activity Challenge:a county-wide initiative that focuses on physical activity, nutrition and healthy
behaviors; and
WHEREAS, Digital Vibez, Inc. and Palm Health Foundation present the annual challenge, which takes place
annually from March 1-31 and encourages individuals within and beyond Palm Beach County to take charge of
their health by participating in fun fitness exercises; and
WHEREAS,The Let's Move initiative was originally introduced on a national level, by First Lady Michelle Obama in
2010,with the goal of decreasing childhood obesity throughout the United States due to the fact that nearly one
in three children in the United States are overweight or obese and if this problem persists, 1/3 of all children born
in 2000 or later will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lives, or will face other obesity-related health
problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma and cancer; and
WHEREAS, Digital Vibez and the Palm Health Foundation invite all residents to take the challenge to MOVE by
forming teams, registering online, committing to exercising for at least 30 minutes a day throughout the month
of March, and logging their minutes on the Let's Move website, www.letsmovePBC.org. In 2012, Palm Beach
County logged 100,000 minutes in the first year of the challenge and we have met the challenge each year since,
rising in 2025 to over 101 million minutes logged!
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA does herby recognize the month of March,
as: Let's Move Palm Beach County Month and urges all citizens to join us in moving to improve their fitness,
mental health, and overall health.
In Witness Whereof,we have here with set our hand and caused to be affixed the Seal of the Village of Tequesta
this 121" day of March 2026.
