Cash prizes will be given to the top three in each category: team, male individual and female individual. Help reach the goal of losing 5,000 pounds county-wide. New this year is the Corporate Challenge, which an organization could win by having the greatest percentage of weight loss and house the Kosciusko FIT Corporate Challenge traveling trophy. The registration deadline is Monday. Kick-off is Jan. 16 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Lakeview Middle School. The final weigh-in is May 15, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Participants must attend both of these weigh-ins at Lakeview Middle School.
