TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Foresters Financial™ (Foresters), the fraternal life insurer that's boldly redefining the life insurance industry through innovation, purpose and wellness, is celebrating the 1-year anniversary of the launch of Foresters Go, an innovative wellness platform that integrates wearable app-enabled technology and behavior sciences to inspire and reward healthy lifestyles. ^[1]

Over the past year, Foresters members have taken over 1,757,592,202 steps, enough to make it to the moon and back twice, or around the globe more than 20 times. ^[2]  

"We are delighted by the robust adoption and utilization of Foresters Go and are proud to celebrate our members' accomplishments over the past year," said Louis Gagnon, Foresters Financial President and Chief Executive Officer. "Some might say I'm over the moon with our results. Rewarding members for living well and giving back underscores the core values of Foresters and our commitment to enriching the well-being of our members and their communities. On behalf of the organization, I'd like to thank and congratulate all participating members on their achievements, and I look forward to reaching new milestones in the years ahead."

Foresters Go was launched in September 2021 in partnership with dacadoo AG – an award-winning Insurtech specializing in digital health engagement and health risk quantification. The wearable app helps Foresters' members track their wellness and participate in challenges with other members to improve their health and wellbeing and earn rewards points. It is a complimentary benefit to all Foresters' members across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Along with earning points for making healthy decisions, members also earn Rewards Points for volunteering in their community.

"Foresters Go provides a fun and interactive experience for members to earn exciting rewards and leverage our broader suite of unique member benefits," said Nicole Gourley, Global Chief Membership and Marketing Officer at Foresters. "While we're encouraged to see so many members embrace and benefit from an active lifestyle, Foresters Go offers much more than fitness initiatives, including guidance on several areas of wellness such as nutrition, volunteerism, sleep, mental wellbeing, mindfulness and more."

To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Foresters Go, all registered users will be awarded $5 in Foresters Go points, while the first 1,000 new non-registered users will receive $15 in Foresters Go points (local currency) if they sign up prior to December 31, 2022.
