23rd Annual African American Wellness Walk: Moving Hearts And Soles

The African American Wellness Walk (AAWW) is returning for its 23rd year! This year’s theme is “Moving Hearts & Soles.” The walk/run will be a hybrid event, with a virtual and an in-person option. The in-person walk will take place at Island MetroPark (101 East Helena Street, Dayton, OH) on Saturday, Aug. 12, with a program at 7:30 a.m. and then at 8 a.m., the walk will begin.

Last year’s AAWW had more than 2,000 participants, over 600 of whom attended the in-person walk. Together we raised an incredible $50,000 for Central State and Wilberforce Universities!

This year, we’re running it back. As we continue to invest in our local historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), once again, our goal is to raise $50,000 to benefit the students at Central State and Wilberforce Universities.
