According to its founder, the annual GWD was launched in Turkey three years ago as the first-ever internationally designated day dedicated to wellness and now spans several countries and US cities as a worldwide non-profit making social movement created by volunteers dedicated to living well. Created to be a collaboration of lifestyle-focused organizations, wellness coaches and exercise and spa professionals, the official day connects and inspires fitness, healthful eating, inner health and spiritual well-being, the purpose of this annual day is to make everyone aware of the value of our lives.

To Encourage Global Wellness Day Participation BSC Ramps-Up With
Social Media Campaign And ‘Wellness Road Trip’

 In countdown to the one-day ‘health for happy’ GWD event on the 13th as it rallies for global wellness every day, BSC will launched a robust ‘I SAY YES’ social media campaign and contest on Facebook and formed a team of its fitness, spa, lifestyle, recreation and culinary leadership to offer a ‘road show’ for wellness visits at employers, large and small; lifestyle, health and wellness partners; nonprofits, youth organizations, summer camps and City agencies. Suggested organization programming can range from employee or membership workshops with expert speakers, lunch and learns, fitness meets (swimming, running, biking) and competitions
to healthful cooking classes and demonstrations and social media tip sharing, etc.

BSC encourages everyone to join in its “I SAY YES” social media photo contest to win a full spa day at Moonstone Spa & Fitness Center. According to Spa Director Leigh-Ann Davidson, it is simple to enter:

  • Must include hashtags: #globalwellnessday #isayyes  #GWD2015 #brokensoundclub

Belgin Aksoy, GWD founder and Richmond International creative director shared that “Global Wellness Day is meant to be a journey of self-discovery during which participants can find they can change ‘every day’ of their life. The fundamental purpose of the day is to make us aware of the value our lives. Even if it’s just one day a year, to make us stop and think, to get away from the stress of city living and our bad habits, and thereby find peace within.”

“Serving as the primary champion of the Global Wellness Day social movement for the Boca Raton community has been a natural fit for us as is evident in all we do and stand for at Broken Sound Club as a leading steward of healthy living,” noted John Crean, CCE, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer at Broken Sound Club that offers Club members on-site physical therapy, nutritional counseling and health seminars in partnership with Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “So pleased to partner with other Boca healthy living proponents in this international well-fest, including Waterstone Resort & Marina, Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Boca Raton’s Promise.”
