2025 Black Maternal Health Week: Family Day

Join us at Center City Park @ Greensboro Downtown Parks, Inc. as we honor Black Maternal Health Week with an interactive health fair promoting access to maternal health resources, education, and an extended village of support. Activities include a one-mile walk, a communal activity exploring why we walk for Black maternal health, and alternative body movements for all family members.

Interactive Health Fair activities include:

• Live DJ
• Raffles
• Dancing for Birth class
• Photo opportunity
• Storytelling recordings

Registration is not required but helps with planning. T-shirts will be available for the first 300 individuals who register.

Yes! We welcome groups and encourage you to wear team-identifying clothes or accessories to enhance the experience. Matching t-shirts, feather boas, or fancy hats, the possibilities are endless.
