First Block Party named, "Celebrate Wellness"

July 2021

This past summer, GoBU coordinated and put on its first Block Party named, "Celebrate Wellness". With the partnership of an inner-city church, Restoration Community Church ("RCC"), it was an outstanding event and one that we are looking to repeat annually. RCC brought in 9 healthcare providers who gave of their time and resources to serve the community through blood pressure checks, limited health-screenings, and much more. GoBU coordinated the musical portion of the block party, and organized 6 Christian hip hop artists who shared the importance of being whole emotionally, mentally, and spiritually through their music and their testimonies. Many residents from the Third Ward area of Houston benefited from the healthcare portion of the event, and even more were introduced for the first time to Hip Hop with a positive, God honoring message. Our plan is to host the Celebrate Wellness Block Party again in the of summer 2022. If you know of healthcare providers who would like to participate in such an event, please email the GoBU team at HeyGoBU@gmail.com.
