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.


"Community Partners" Activation Opportunities

The USO is invited to participate in ways that feel aligned and impactful, such as:

  • {HELLO} Welcome & Resource Lounge
    A friendly activation space where families can connect with CP representatives, learn about programs, and enjoy light engagement activities or giveaways.
  • Family Recharge Zone
    A calm, GREEN-energy-inspired area encouraging grounding, rest, and togetherness—perfect for conversations, check-ins, and community presence.
  • Live Shout-Out or Panel Moment
    A brief opportunity to share the CP mission, upcoming initiatives, or words of encouragement during a live activation or panel session.
  • Interactive Family Touchpoint
    Simple, joyful engagement (kids’ activities, family photo moment, wellness prompt, or gratitude wall) that reinforces connection and care.

Goals of Series Activation

1. Strengthen Military Family Connection
Create a welcoming environment where service members and their families feel supported, appreciated, and connected to trusted resources.

2. Promote Holistic Wellness
Support emotional, mental, and family well-being through presence, conversation, and alignment with wellness-focused programming.

3. Increase Awareness & Engagement
Introduce or reintroduce military families to affiliate programs in a relaxed, joyful setting that encourages ongoing participation.

4. Celebrate Community & Growth (GREEN Energy)
Reinforce a message of renewal, resilience, and forward momentum—highlighting that military families are thriving, supported, and full of possibility.


The Energy We’re Bringing

This activation is family-forward, culturally warm, inclusive, and uplifting—rooted in laughter, movement, shared stories, and meaningful connection. It’s not about recruitment or hard messaging; it’s about presence, trust, and showing up for the people who serve and support our nation every day.
