Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity to Host Annual Virtual Health Fair
Washington D.C. (January 25, 2023) – It’s time to Power Up as Phi Beta Sigma gears up to host its annual virtual health fair, titled Power UP – “A Healthy Me in ’23.” The event will take place on February 18th at 10 AM Eastern Standard Time.
This is the second year of the event. The event drew in more than 500 attendees last year and is poised to draw thousands of attendees this year. Once again, expect twenty-eight (28) informational sessions, fireside chats, an interactive marketplace, and many opportunities to network.
This event was first made possible through the partnership with the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW). NCNW has partnered with the National Panhellenic Council (NPHC) in the Good Health WINs initiative to advance health equity, emphasizing the reduction of health disparities, and increasing vaccination opportunities/education as well as identifying the drivers of vaccine hesitancy. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. will continue to work with its partners to bring this program to the community on a yearly basis under its Social Action Program.
“We are once again excited to be able to provide this valuable resource to our members and people across the country,” said International President Honorable Bro. Chris V. Rey, J.D. “A healthy mind and body are essential to serving the community.”
The event will focus on health, youth engagement, wellness, and mental health. It’s an opportunity to ‘learn, reflect and engage.
