The 7th Annual Healthy Fall Festival and 1,000 Turkey Giveaway is returning to Phoenix.
The event is a community celebration designed to kick off the holiday season. Included will be free immunizations, vaccines and flu shots, health education sessions, mammograms and breast health screenings, diabetes testing, and community resources and information.
There will also be a healthy bag giveaway, raffles and a variety of fresh fruit and produce with a frozen turkey (while supplies last), among other nutritious essentials, for each family.
The Healthy Fall Festival goes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11 at Lowell Elementary School, 1121 S. 3rd Ave., in Phoenix.
Equality Health Foundation presents the event with sponsors Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, CommonSpirit Health/Dignity Health, Arizona Coyotes, and Arizona Fresh.
“Providing individuals with resources to promote optimal health and well-being in the South-Central Phoenix is our objective,” Tomás León, Equality Health Foundation president, shared in a press release. “We aim to reach and more families this year to help support healthy and thriving communities.”
Equality Health Foundation is a nonprofit that aims to level the healthcare playing field in culturally diverse and underserved communities. The goal is to expand access to whole person care, accelerate health education, and eliminate health inequalities so that everyone has an opportunity to lead healthier and longer lives.
“The Healthy Fall Festival is incredibly impactful to our students and their families,” Dr. Ibi Dávila Haghighat, Phoenix Elementary School District superintendent, stated. “The resources available for healthy living, including fresh food and vaccines, are timely will provide our community with supportive social connection and access to essential resources.”
The annual event attracts thousands from the greater South Phoenix community.
The organization welcomes the participation of sponsors at partnership levels including Health Innovator ($10,000) Health Champion ($5,000), Health Advocate ($2,500), and Health Supporter ($1,500).
Registration for exhibitor space is available for nonprofit, community-based organizations at no cost.
