City of Goodyear wins the All-America City award in 2008

In 2008, a handful of Goodyear residents helped the City of Goodyear win the All-America City award.

Motivated by the experience, they returned from the competition and formed a group called “ACTION.”

ACTION stands for Active Citizens Together Improving Our Neighborhoods.

That fall, one of ACTION’s committees chose to tackle the issue of childhood obesity.  Soon after, the group expanded its mission to help people of all ages live healthier.

In 2009, the group renamed itself Goodyear In ACTION and received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service.

Today, Goodyear In ACTION works to promote, educate, and motivate people of all ages in the West Valley to live healthier lifestyles.

We do this by bringing together and collaborating with local government, business, non profits and citizens for the betterment of the community.
