Successes in May: GiveNOLA Day and National Get Fit Don’t Sit Day

GiveNOLA Day, which raised over $4 million locally on Tuesday, May 5, helped the American Diabetes Association tremendously. Thank you to those of you who donated to our cause – we can’t wait for next year’s event!

 

National Get Fit Don’t Sit on Wednesday, May 6th, was coordinated around our Corporate Breakfast at Café Reconcile. Over 75 corporate leaders attended the breakfast, learned tips and exercises to encourage their employees to take part in from local fitness expert Mark Berger and enjoyed a chance to discuss this year’s Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes on November 14. For more information about Get Fit Don’t Sit Day, check out the video that our local NBC affiliate aired!
