Health education, health screenings, and creative awareness activities will be woven throughout the four-hour evening to emphasize the importance of awareness of common health issues affecting women today.

Besides these important educational segments about general health and wellness, the night will also include keynote speaker, Ms. Anne Worsham Richardson; health screenings; door prizes; refreshments; art exhibits; free giveaways and more!
