Depending on COVID 19 Restrictions

This year’s programme will focus on the technological skills and information needed to lead our people into the future. Building on the grounding principle of SANKOFA, we will learn from the past as we look to the future with activities that will fortify young people.

The Walnut Foundation

Part proceeds of this event will go towards a contribution to The Walnut Foundation – a Men’s Health Interest and Prostate Support Group working with the Black Community in identifying the needs of Black Men. They support in areas of health and health-related issues to provide a forum for discussion in a comfortable, safe and supportive environment.

A Note From Andre:

My reason for choosing the Walnut Foundation was after learning that my grandfather had passed away from prostate cancer and a lack of support within the black community.  It was only fitting, therefore, that I would dedicate my time and resources to an organization that is providing the black community with the help it needs to better inform and educate the community. My appointment to the Board of Directors as Director of Youth Engagement has given me so much appreciation for the work the Foundation does. To work behind the scenes in planning the direction of the foundation is extremely rewarding.

Dangle Fit Back Care

Danglefit uses aerial slings to apply inversion therapy to the back and spine. We invert participants (allowing them to literally hang upside down) and have them perform tasks, for example, writing backwards with their non-dominant hand. This brings greater volume of blood (nutrients and oxygen) to the brain. This process causes the brain to do something that it has never done before and in ways that it has never done them before. This encourages the brain to develop new brain cells and new neural pathways, thereby fighting dementia.

Event Committee Members

Our event committee will support in all functions of developing, promoting, organizing, and leading the Rebound Wellness Experience.
