We are grateful that Black at Microsoft Houston selected the AIP BIPOC Network as one of only three nonprofits featured during their October Giving Month. Their support and the generosity of participating employees made a meaningful difference, reinforcing how powerful individual giving can be for smaller Black led organizations.
โ€Œ
Being chosen also expanded visibility for our work across the corporate sector. Since Microsoft uses Benevity, ABN is now listed on the Benevity giving platform, which means employees at any company using Benevity can support us through donations or volunteer hours.
โ€Œ
This access helps us continue bringing culturally grounded education, prevention resources, and community centered support to BIPOC individuals living with autoimmune and chronic illness.
โ€Œ
Thank you again to the BAM Houston team for choosing to highlight our mission and the communities we serve.

The AIP BIPOC Network was honored to attend the Peavy Senior Centerโ€™s ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating their new Great Age Fitness Park, a welcome addition to Houstonโ€™s historic Fifth Ward.

This new outdoor space marks an important step toward health equity and active aging, especially in neighborhoods like Fifth Ward where safe, accessible options for seniors to move and connect are limited. The park offers older adults a place to gather, build strength, and enjoy fresh air while staying engaged with their community.

After the ribbon cutting, ABN hosted our monthly indoor fitness session with Peavy seniors, continuing our commitment to functional movement and prevention-focused wellness. The timing was perfect, learning about new outdoor resources, then applying those same principles indoors in a supportive, familiar setting.

Weโ€™re proud to be part of this growing movement to make wellness accessible for every body, and to see Fifth Ward leading the way.

The AIP BIPOC Networkโ€™s Health Navigation Workshops are back this November with a new round of Functional & Limited Mobility Fitness sessions across Houston. These sessions are designed to meet people where they are, helping older adults and those living with chronic illness move with confidence, improve mobility, and rediscover the joy in motion.
