June 23 2010 - Are we there yet? Beaulieu Associates Reach Halfway Point In 2-Million Mile Goal

DALTON GA June 22, 2010 – After achieving its first million miles in less than a year on December 1, 2009, Ralph Boe did what any president and CEO would do – he doubled the goal for his company. The “Million Mile Challenge”, a way to encourage Beaulieu associates to daily walk their way to better health, became a “2-Million Mile Challenge”. It has become so popular with associates that the first collective million miles was achieved in half the time this year.

“At this rate, we should easily achieve our 2-Million mile goal by year’s end,” observed Mr. Boe.
