About this Event
The Marketing Factory:
Love, Fun & Family Wellness Workshop is a vibrant, family-centered community activation designed to support, celebrate, and strengthen military families through wellness, entrepreneurship, and joyful connection.
This event brings together active-duty service members (all ranks and rates), veterans, military spouses, children, and community supporters for an experience that feels less like a traditional market—and more like a mission-driven gathering rooted in care, resilience, and belonging.
Our March theme, GREEN Energy, represents growth, grounding, renewal, and forward momentum—values that deeply align with the Affiliate & Community Partner’s commitment to supporting the holistic well-being of service members and their families. Through interactive wellness experiences, family-friendly activities, and community-powered conversations, this activation creates a welcoming space where military families can recharge, connect, and feel seen beyond the uniform.
The Affiliate & Community Partner’s presence would serve as a powerful anchor of trust and familiarity—offering families a touchpoint of support, resources, and encouragement while reinforcing the message: you don’t have to do life or service alone.
Why This Activation Matters to Military Families
Military life is dynamic, demanding, and often transitional. This activation meets families where they are—offering:
- A low-pressure, high-joy environment for families to spend quality time together
- Access to wellness tools and stress-relief experiences that support mental, physical, and emotional health
- Exposure to military spouse–led businesses and creative pathways, inspiring economic empowerment and purpose beyond service
- Opportunities for organic connection between families, service members, and support organizations
This is community care in motion—designed with intention, inclusivity, and heart.
