This year our theme is Empowering Men to Live Healthier Lives. Our free health sessions will be capped off with a keynote by the hilarious John Morgan. In addition to a long stand-up career, John specializes in motivational speaking that injects real talks with humor. We will have health screenings covering blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, glaucoma, visual acuity, and several different cancer screenings. Activities such as a fun run and shadow boxing are included as well, so dress comfortably!
