Step-Tember Step Challenge: Let’s Get Moving!

September 3, 2025

September 1 – September 30

Fall is just around the corner, and what better way to kick it off than by getting our steps in together? Penny Lane Centers is excited to launch our annual Step-Tember Step Challenge—a month-long wellness event designed to get you moving, laughing, and maybe even claiming some serious bragging rights along the way.

Here’s how it works: grab four of your fellow coworkers and form a team of five. Together, you’ll compete against other Penny Lane teams to see who can rack up the most steps throughout the month of September. Whether you’re a casual stroller, a treadmill warrior, or someone who just loves a good lunchtime walk, every step counts!

And yes, there are prizes… really good ones:

  • 🥇 1st Place Team – $500 Amazon Gift Cards ($100 per person)
  • 🥈 2nd Place Team – $375 Amazon Gift Cards ($75 per person)
  • 🥉 3rd Place Team – $250 Amazon Gift Cards ($50 per person)
  • 👟 Highest Overall Stepper – $100 Amazon Gift Card

Tracking your steps is easy with the StrideKick app, which we’ll be using again this year. Please have your Team Captain email Yesenia Ruiz (YRuiz@pennylane.org) with your team member names to get signed up. Important updates have been made to the app, so your Team Captain will receive special instructions from Yesenia before the fun begins.

But this challenge isn’t just about winning prizes—it’s about boosting our health, cheering each other on, and building team spirit across Penny Lane. Imagine swapping walking tips with coworkers, setting fun mini-challenges with your team, or sending that “We’re catching up to you!” message to a rival group. Step-Tember is all about movement, motivation, and connection.

So dust off those sneakers, invite your coworkers to join, and let’s make this September one to remember. Every step you take brings us closer to a healthier, more energized Penny Lane family.

Let’s step it up—together!
