What Is Wellness Day?

Black Men’s Wellness Day is a vital national movement focused on improving health and longevity for Black men and their families. We offer access to over 25 free screenings—including blood pressure, glucose, and mental health—in a high-energy, community-centered environment. Beyond health resources, enjoy our signature 5K walk/run, live entertainment, and family activities. Leave your testimony below! 

Why this event is important..

Over 60 men lost a full leg last year from preventable diseases. 

North Philly is the sickest in the state.
