The Shape Up SF Coalition is a public/private partnership and serves as the organizing body for The Challenge. The Coalition seeks to create healthy environments where people live, play, work and learn. The Coalition is a multidisciplinary body with representation from city government, community based organizations, businesses, schools, health care, and others. The Coalition utilizes a public health approach, as such its efforts focus on primary prevention.
