lululemon announces the Healthier Community Challenge on HeroX

BY LIZ TREADWELL | 1 min read

What if you could experience an environment that improved your well-being just by spending time in it? What would this look like to you?

lululemon is asking the world to share their innovative ideas to improve the mind, body, and community of lululemon guests when they spend time in their store and community spaces. 

A few things that can be considered for a participant’s submission:

  • What if you visited the space just once for 2 hours? 6 hours? Overnight? How might you improve the wellbeing of an individual?
  • What if the space was not confined by the four walls? What if the space was configurable?
  • What if there was only one person in the store? What if there were 300 people?
  • What if the stores were not primarily transactional and didn’t even need to make money?

Submittors of top ideas will travel to lululemon headquarters in Vancouver, Canada to present their ideas directly to a lululemon executive team. Additionally, there’s $16,000 USD and other non-monetary prizes to award to the top ideas and proposals.
