STATEWIDE This Halloween season, HealthyWage kicks off its “Cash for Candy” program, where any individual in the United States can donate excess, unwanted and unopened candy, get directly paid for it and, in doing so, support American troops overseas. According to current health reports, obesity remains a health threat for over 36% of the country’s population. This scary statistic is that much more frightful as Halloween looms large. However, this year there’s no need to fret as one wellness company will pay cold, hard cash for the candy. HealthyWage’s “Cash for Candy” program will pay individuals $10 per pound of candy, up to $100
per person. Through the initiative, any individual can donate excess, unwanted and unopened candy to the Operation Shoebox program on or before November 22, get directly paid for it and, in doing so, support American troops

overseas. Participants anywhere in the U.S. can donate candy and cash in. Operation Shoebox was founded in 2003 by military mom Mary Harper. With a mission to provide hands-on support for troops deployed overseas and for returning home, the organization sends on average up to 400 care packages a week with items such as coffee, socks, toothpaste, letters of encouragement - and candy! In addition to supporting troops overseas, Operation Shoebox also hosts fundraisers and collects supplies for homeless veterans. The “Cash for Candy” program works in conjunction with Healthy Wage’s wellness contests, where individuals and corporate

teams participate in financiallyinduced weight loss challenges. The program has so far collected a tasty 994 pounds of candy and paid out $9,000 in donations. “We’re thrilled to again support Americans in their quest to avoid temptation, manage their weight-related health, and bolster their bank accounts,” said HealthyWage co-founder David Roddenberry. “By rewarding individuals with cash in exchange for their excess candy, while also supporting our troops overseas, it’s a win-win - one that can help people start their “holiday diet” to avoid seasonal weight gain.” Relative to its range of popSee CANDY on page 5 . . .
