Here are some examples of what facilities did for previous events:
- The New Orleans Pelicans, in partnership with the American Diabetes Association, visited five Senior Living Communities in New Orleans and Baton Rouge to promote healthier living, eating right, and maintaining a fit weight.
- We had an amazing event! We had 60 people! We had Genghis Grill, Earl of Sandwich and EVOS there serving food. We had a retirement community bring 15 people in for the event. We had several vendors attending. WellCare, Carnival, Humana, Virgin Mobile, Aim, and others. The SilverSneakers Fitness class and Zumba class both went great! We also had a raffle for the participants with many awesome prizes and more! Thank you!
