Nominate corporations, government agencies, media, professionals, schools and individuals to recognize them for successful contributions to the improvement of the health, fitness or recreation opportunities available in the State of Arizona.

In 1989, Arizona Governor Rose Mofford announced the establishment of a statewide physical fitness awards program to recognize both public and private sector efforts to promote a health lifestyle for Arizonans.

The award program was created by the Arizona Governor's Council on Health, Physical Fitness, and Sports. The Council will administer the nominating procedures, the judging and the awards presentations.

From the First Awards Program in 1990, the corporate sponsor has been the Phoenix Suns, whose generous support is greatly appreciated.

The program will honor those individuals, businesses, schools or agencies judged to have made successful contributions toward the promotion or improvement of the health, fitness or recreational opportunities in the state.

Awards are given in the following categories:

  • Corporate Wellness Award
  • Government Agency Award
  • Media Award
  • Outstanding Leadership Award
  • Health Club Award
  • Professional Preparation Award
  • Public / Private School Award
  • Senior Award
