A Pima County Prevention Investment Proposal · Co-hosted with CommunityShare · The Force for Health® Network
CommunityShare has already made Pima County a national model for connecting classrooms to community. The Force for Health Network has built the health engine — games, data, media, and coaching — that a community can run on. Together, we can make prevention the county's shared civic project.
PK-12 educators matched to community partners for real-world learning — already live across Pima County with the Superintendent's Office & Tucson Values Teachers.
Reality Health Games, the Chamber of Health, a 360° Academy, and PHIT data — a full stack for healthy-citizen education.
~1.07M residents, a Superintendent's Office that already co-hosts county-wide student events, and six county agencies hungry for measurable prevention.
A Tucson-born health-education network that turns prevention into something people play, produce, and share — all measured by real data.
A connected system of seven Gear Hubs — one engine that lets a whole community learn, play, measure, and publish its way to health. This proposal turns six of those gears loose on Pima County.
The measurement engine — every dollar and outcome, scored.

CommunityShare connects people to purpose. Force for Health gives them a healthy purpose to connect around — and the scoreboard to prove it worked.
The Pima County School Superintendent's Office already runs a beloved, county-wide K-8 Spelling Bee — classroom rounds, school champions, a countywide final, families in the seats.
Same civic ritual — powered by CommunityShare's network — but students compete in Reality Health Games: prevention knowledge, biometrics literacy, career readiness. A new kind of eSport where the whole community levels up.
Classroom rounds → school champions → a Pima County Reality Health Games Championship, hosted by the Superintendent's Office, produced by students, measured by PHIT.
Dozens of live experiences — filter by the lane that matters to each partner. Every tile opens the real page.
Students aren't the audience — they're the producers. One system, two engines, endless real-world projects for CommunityShare educators and partners.

A full-color, interactive, student-produced magazine — family- and community-focused — reporting on local health, county agencies, and the students behind it all.
Every game played and every story published pays out in Learn It · Live It · Share It — the currency of a healthier county.
Our most-loved builds are playable right now, and they're the engine behind the eSport league. Every game pays out Learn It / Live It / Share It coins.
