At the core of the Seattle Storm is the promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle. Kaiser Permanente also believes in helping everyone to be their healthiest. That’s why the Storm and Kaiser Permanente have joined forces to activate StormFit. This fitness program for kids and teens develops lifelong fans of the game of basketball — and good health — through on-court camps, clinics, and open community practices.

Healthy Living Program
In partnership with Kaiser Permanente, this new incentive program was a motivator for all Seattle Public Schools K-5 students to reach a classroom established goal. P.E. specialists signed up during the school year before the start of the Storm season. Teachers had the freedom to decide how to incorporate the incentive into their own classroom goals whether centered on attendance, participation or performance in specific sports or exercises.

Special Olympics Free Throw Challenge
For the second consecutive year, the Storm and Kaiser Permanente worked together to raise money for Special Olympics Washington. At five games this season, unified pairs took the court and each attempted to make a free throw in :45 seconds. If both contestants made their free throw, Kaiser Permanente would donate $1,500 to Special Olympics Washington. We ended 2019, raising $7,500 for SOWA! Great job to our five unified pairs this season!
