Girls Club Walk-A-Thon and Block Party for Community Health & Wellness
October 16, 2021 @ 10:45 am – 3:00 pm EDT
WHEN
WHAT
March to the beat of Batalá NY drummers alongside Girls Club members for a joyous parade that will wind through the parks and streets of the East Village and end in an “old school”-style block party outside our Center for Community. Join us for music, dancing, street games and activities; and a selection of our La Tiendita products for sale. The Block Party for Community Health & Wellness will host an array of community health partners who will share valuable resources and information.
WHY
This year’s Walk-A-Thon will support the Center for Wellbeing & Happiness, our newest initiative which provides free, wrap-around wellness services to all genders and all generations in the Lower East Side.
In 2020, we expanded our mission and service population with the launch of our Center for Wellbeing and Happiness with a core belief that the wellbeing of our members is intimately connected to the wellbeing of their families, community, and the world. Currently running virtual classes, our physical Center is slated to open in 2022 on Avenue D.
Supporting your community’s health has never been more vital. Help us reach our $50,000+ Walk-A-Thon goal!
