COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- An anonymous donor is promising $1 million to a Missouri women's college if school employees collectively shed at least 250 pounds by the end of the year.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that an unidentified Stephens College graduate living in Oregon brokered the weight-loss deal with school president Dianne Lynch. The donor will kick in an extra $100,000 if Lynch loses 25 pounds on her own.
Lynch unveiled what she has dubbed the "Losers Club" challenge at a Thursday meeting with employees. She told workers she came up with the weight-loss fundraising plan after the graduate, who lives in Oregon, lamented the country's overall lack of health.
