Join us on Saturday March 19th from 1-4 PM at Martin Luther King Middle School to celebrate VCU’s annual wellness block party. The block party is a community event for organizations to provide free health screenings, free wellness resources, entertainment, door prizes, and free lunch!!!

We will be disseminating the results of the Seventh District Health and Wellness Survey as well as educating and sharing new organizational network data with a fun Hip Hop game. Come out! Learn more! Win prizes!

Parking: Parking is available in the school parking lot on the left side of the school. You will see a balloon arch on the left side of the school, that is the main entrance. Do not go through the main entrance of the school as that will be closed. Please carpool if possible, as parking is limited!

Other Event Information:

• Rodney the Ram and Nutzy the Squirrel will be there for the Block Party wondering around!
• We will have a DJ and 106.5 The Beat
