Center for Healthy Communities 25th Anniversary Community Picnic & Dance Extravaganza

To recognize and honor its community and academic partnerships and programs, the Center for Healthy Communities is kicking off its 25th anniversary yearlong celebration with a community picnic and dance extravaganza on Sunday, Sept. 27, 1 to 4 p.m., at Island MetroPark, 101 E. Helena Street in Dayton. The picnic will include a food tent and a wellness village. Mini University will provide kids’ activities. The Dayton Contemporary Dance Company and Dayton Urban Ballroom will provide dance instruction. Because seating is limited, attendees should bring lawn chairs and blankets.

The Center was founded by a community partnership that included the Wright State University School of Medicine, College of Liberal Arts, College of Nursing and Health and School of Professional Psychology.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call Cindy Bradley at (937) 775-8248.
