4/20 Health and Fitness fair at UCLA

The Pacific Islander community in California are highly susceptible and more likely to be obese or diagnosed with diseases related to obesity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and various heart problems. The health fair has welcomed role models such as Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu, and Jillian Michaels to contribute and give workshops to the youth--all in an effort to instill healthy habits and promote a healthier more active lifestyle for the Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian community. 
This year we will have various musical acts, pacific islander fitness experts, a health fair, exercise workshops such as rugby and hula, as well as a healthy lunch! Come out and support the cause, would love to have some Movers there! http://www.meetup.com/Lets-Move/Los-Angeles-CA/888822/?a=bd3
