The Transformation Event 2009

Seminar Series . Workshops . Gala . Marathon and Make-A-Wish Foundation® Fundraiser

October 16, 17 and 18 / Sheraton Hotel, Denver, Colorado


You're invited to participate in a life-changing experience at Bill Phillips' Transformation Event 2009. What's in store are three days of energy, inspiration and empowering challenges, including:

  • Bill Phillips, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Body-for-LIFE, will guide you through his new program, The 7 Stages of Transformation, which will help you lift your energy, health and quality of life to the next level.
  • Hear from 10 real-life Transformation Heroes. Discover how they overcame adversity in order to make their lives healthier, richer and more meaningful than ever before. Be ready to take a lot of notes because these real-life heroes will reveal the keys which open doors to completely new ways of living.
  • Learn from the "Strongest Father in the World," the remarkable Dick Hoyt. His presentation to the Transformation Team will inspire both strength and compassion, as well as help everyone get mentally prepared and motivated for the next day's challenging run.
  • Enjoy an unforgettable evening Friday, beginning at 7:00 PM, for the Transformation Gala and Awards Ceremony. Bill Phillips will honor inspirational heroes who are making a difference in the lives of others, because of the healthy and courageous changes they've made in their own lives. Have fun with new friends and fuel up with a delicious, nutritious dinner.
  • Improve your fitness by setting a goal now to participate with hundreds of others on the Transformation Team during the Denver Marathon, half marathon and 5K events.
  • Begin new friendships with others who are making healthy changes in their lives and strengthen existing friendships with those in our community. A recent study at Harvard University showed that when people who are making health changes in their lives connect with a supportive community of others to share their experiences, offer each other encouragement and help out with accountability, they're able to experience 245 percent greater results over a two-year period, compared to trying to go it alone.
  • Help us make a change and make a difference in the lives of Make-A-Wish children and their families. All proceeds from this event support the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Colorado. This continues Bill Phillips' 15 years of dedication to this worthwhile cause; over that time he has personally granted 500 children's wishes. When you attend the Transformation Event, you'll be helping grant wishes and make dreams come true for children who are facing life-threatening medical conditions, enriching their lives with hope, strength and joy.

Guests are invited to arrive in Denver Thursday the 15th for a welcome reception at 7:00 PM at the Sheraton Hotel, which is our headquarters for the event.

Seminar Series and workshops will begin at 9:00 AM sharp both Friday the 16th, and Saturday the 17th. There will be a one-hour Eating for Life lunch break at noon, and then the workshops and seminars will continue from 1:00 until 5:00 PM.

On Sunday the 18th, the Transformation Team will be meeting in the ballroom at 6:00 AM for a light, healthy, high-energy breakfast before heading to the marathon starting line. The run begins at 7:00 AM.

If you decide to attend the Transformation Event and are going to run in the marathon, half marathon or 5K, please consider participating in our "Run to Grant a Child's Wish program." Please contact us at wish@transformation.com and we'll provide more information so you can build your own support team of people who pledge $5, $10 or $20 per mile that you run. Together the Transformation Team can make a big difference. Last year we raised $33,000 at this event. This year our goal is $100,000. The Make-A-Wish Foundation needs our help more this year than ever, and your support is greatly appreciated.
