About Walk for Healthy Living
As part of the HeartLinks signature program, The Links launched its first national walk-a-thon in September 1995 in New York City, with 267 chapters hosting a local walk-a-thon on Saturday, September 30. The goal of Walk for Healthy Living is to promote walking as a healthy pastime, challenge the community and Links members to take 10,000 steps daily, and encourage Link members to improve their health and that of their families and communities. Links walk-a-thons are sponsored by Links chapters throughout communities nationwide during the last weekend in September.

The Claremont Area (CA) Chapter and the San Bernardino Valley (CA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated collaborated with Bethel AME Church Fontana for The Links, Incorporated's Black Family Wellness Expo.
This event was held at Bethel AME Church of Fontana, CA. The community was invited to listen to presentations on Cancer, Emotional Spiritual Well-Being, Financial Literacy, and Healthy Life Styles. We had screenings for dental health, blood pressure, and COVID and Flu shots.
Welcome
The morning started off with Claremont Chapter President, Pamela Chavira and San Bernardino Valley Chapter Tracy Tillman welcoming everyone to the event.
There was a free food giveaway. Each person that attended the event walked away with multiple types of vegetables, dried rice, beans, and meat.
Our entertainment was provided by DJ Alice Brown who showcased her skills in getting everyone in the mood.
The Praise Dancers from New Hope Missionary Baptist Church and the Double Dutch Dancers from San Bernardino were very entertaining.

There were community partners that provided everyone with important information about Alzeheimer's, Breast Cancer, Fire Safety, AARP, and Healthy Life Styles. The San Bernardino County Health provided Dental Screenings for the children.
The children enjoyed the jumper and the face painting. We had free raffles, a free food give-away, and food vendors to make the day so festive.
