What is BeeWell for Life?
BeeWell for Life is an interactive signature consumer program by Bumble Bee Foods developed to inspire people to be active, eat healthier and give back using the dedicated resource website BeeWellForLife.com.
How does BeeWell for Life give back?
The BeeWell program allows consumers to earn points by logging the miles they walk, run or bike, completing weekly challenges, and entering the calories they consume. These points then translate to money earned for their choice of one, two or all three BeeWell for Life charity partners: American Diabetes Association®, WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, and Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization™ . Bumble Bee Foods will donate up to a total of $300,000 among its three charity partners during 2012.
You get points for logging your miles, completing challenges and entering the calories you consume
– how does that work?
Each month, there are 125,000 total points to be earned through the various activities:
- LOGGING MILES: One mile = 3 points
- COMPLETING WEEKLY CHALLENGES: Each challenge (three challenges weekly) = 3 points (upto 9 points weekly)
- ENTERING CALORIES CONSUMED: Each day that calories consumed are logged = 4 points
Your points are then converted to money to be donated to your choice of one, two, or all three of
our charity partners. One point is equivalent to $0.10.
What happens if 125,000 points are not earned each month?
If 125,000 points are not earned during any given month, Bumble Bee will donate the earned amount to the respective charity partners and the remaining money will become a rollover bonus for the following month. For instance, if only 80,000 points are earned during a given month, Bumble Bee will donate $8,000 to the charity partners and the remaining $4,500 will become a rollover bonus available to the charities the next month.
How does a charity win the rollover bonus?
The charity with the most points earned during the given month in which a rollover bonus is available will win the entire rollover bonus amount.
What are the weekly challenges?
There are three easy and attainable challenges each week in the categories of Bee Active, Bee Nutritious and Bee Inspired. Each challenge you complete is worth three points which translates to $0.30 for the charity partner(s) of your choosing. An example of a Bee Active challenge may be to take the stairs instead of the elevator.

My Thoughts: I’ve mentioned before that I am a member of the Bee Squad with Bumble Bee and I’m excited to bring this giveaway and information to you all! BeeWell is a great program because so many of us want to become healthier and this is a great way for you to make some healthy changes and help raise donations for one or several of your favorite causes. It may be what you need to become more motivated!
I love companies that care about people and not just making a profit and Bumble Bee is definitely one of those companies and I’m always proud to represent them. Making healthy choices is a struggle of mine every single day. I don’t just want to do it for me, but for my children. Bumble Products is one choice I make that my family agrees with! My oldest loves tuna and she has no idea the benifits it has. She gets excited, like it’s a special treat (think cookie!) when I make her a Tuna Fish Sandwich. She has no idea I’m making a healthy choice for her, she just loves it. I think that if I make choices like that for her while she’s young, then they will become habits for her as she becomes older. That’s my goal at least!
