We’re thrilled to invite you to Heartfelt Connections: Nurturing Our Hearts for a Healthier Future , a 6-week, energy-filled series where parents and children take center stage in a journey to better health and stronger bonds.

We know parenting is a full-time job (plus overtime). Between homework, sports, and life’s to-do list, your well-being can slip to the bottom. This program changes that, making heart health fun, family-centered, and something you can look forward to together each week.

Here’s what’s waiting for families:
Cook, Taste, Love – Learn tasty, heart-healthy recipes that kids ask for
De-Stress Together – Quick, playful tools to help the whole family reset
Move as a Team – Games, challenges, and activities that get hearts pumping and smiles spreading
Your Wellness Village – Meet other families, swap stories, and cheer each other on

We’ll bring the experts, interactive fun, and delicious demos — you bring your family and an open heart. By the end of the 6 weeks, you’ll leave with more than knowledge — you’ll leave with memories, healthy habits, and a stronger parent-child connection.

📅 Dates: August 25 - October 2, 2025
📍 Location: Various Philadelphia Locations
💲 Cost: Free

Spots are limited, so don’t wait. Let’s create lasting health and happiness together.

P.S. Years from now, your child may not remember every recipe or every activity… but they will remember the laughter, the time you spent together, and the way you made health a priority as a family. Give them that gift — and give yourself the same.
