"HEALTHY & FREE"

A One Love - OneCommunity Foundation Inc Event

2010 JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION

“Juneteenth - Healthy & Free Celebration” is a celebration of freedom, accomplishments, and the commitment to living healthy, responsible lives.

Our Juneteenth Celebration will take place on Saturday, June 19th at Old School Square Cultural Art Center in Delray Beach, Florida. The Health Fair Event will be from 9 am- 5 pm on Saturday followed by a family friendly evening family friend concert in the park from 7 pm till 10 pm.

It is our goal to celebrate and educate others about the significance of Juneteenth, June 19th, the day of independence for African Americans in the United States; we fear that it will become “lost history”!  Our goal is to rekindle the celebrations of Juneteenth by remembering its historical significance and by making a commitment to celebrate Juneteenth as an annual tradition in Palm Beach County. We will embrace Juneteenth with a celebration that include free health services for the community, family fun, education and a celebration that will have the feel of a good ole' fashion family reunion.

In 2010, we will recognize Juneteenth with a day of community involved activities and events. Our theme for our first Palm Beach County Juneteenth Celebration is “Healthy and Free”.  We are partnering with health organizations, community agencies, businesses, schools and municipals to create an event that is enriched with culture, education and community involvement.  

All attendees will have access to free health testing, screening and medical professionals. . The health education issues/screening will include but not be limited to Diabetes, Sickle Cell Anemia, HIV/ STDs, Blood Pressure, Nutrition, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Cancer, and Substance Abuse..
