Commit-Stay Fit! Strong B.A.N.D.S. is back. Dates are 29 April thru 2 June.
If your garrison is participating in Strong B.A.N.D.S. this year, be sure to download and read the 2024 Strong B.A.N.D.S. Guidebook created by IMCOM G9 Sports, Fitness and Aquatics Team and Marketing which provides direction and tips on the campaign. Please work closely with your Strong B.A.N.D.S. event coordinator (usually from your Sports, Fitness and Aquatics team). Be sure to utilize the poster and fillable poster to promote your garrison Strong B.A.N.D.S. events. Promote your events on social media and use the Facebook and X covers. Use #strongbands when posting on social media.
Add your Strong B.A.N.D.S. events to your garrison's Strong B.A.N.D.S. webpage and add the web ad to your home page to link to this webpage. IMPORTANT NOTE: We have added a guide from our partner, Human Performance Resources by CHAMP which includes content to help you promote each pillar of "B.A.N.D.S." throughout the month with recommended social media posts with articles. You can also order a poster for your garrison from HRPC which provides tips on heat and hydration. Our other partner is the Exchange.
IMCOM G9 Marketing will be adding content to its Strong B.A.N.D.S. webpage which is https://www.armymwr.com/strongbands and also adding a "Happening" to each garrison homepage which will link to the HQ page. The digital signage ad will be added to the IMCOM Digital Signage Network as well. IMCOM G9 Marketing will be featuring a Tuesday Trivia contest on Facebook with a question of the week pertaining to the corresponding pillar of "B.A.N.D.S.". Randomly selected winners who answer the question correctly will receive prizes (e.g. $50 Exchange gift card). Work closely with your Sports Department and Special Event Coordinators to ensure success for your garrison's Strong B.A.N.D.S. events.
