Claremont Area Chapter of The Links, Incorporated
Goal: To promote and facilitate programs that support the maintenance of good health and the elimination of chronic health disparities in communities of color through education health advocacy, and optimal utilization of health resources.
Facet Highlights:
The Health and Human Services Facet walked in the City of Hope/Los Angeles Walk for Hope on November 4, 2018. As a chapter we raised over $1,600.00 dollars. We wish to thank everyone that donated to our Chapter Team.
The Health and Human Services Facet held their second Fundraiser: Savers FunDrive on March 16, 2019. The Chapter collected gently used clothing, shoes, books, and bedding. These bags of items were taken to the SAVERS warehouse in Riverside, CA. We raised over $550.00 which will be used to help fund our programs.
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.
