Langs Celebrates Women and the Influence they have in Building Healthy Communities
On Friday June 3rd, women and men gathered to learn to how to create a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their families. It was the 4th Annual Celebrating Women event, a fundraiser for Langs programs and services.
“We host our Celebrating Women to hold a spotlight on the women in our lives who propel us forward and help shape each of us as individuals as well as our community.” Says Bill Davidson, Executive Director for Langs. “This is one of our biggest and most popular events as it is always an inspiring afternoon where community members and sponsors get the opportunity to connect and can see the impact they have on one another”.
This year the event enjoyed keynote speaker Christine Gingerich from Optimal YOU Lifestyle Coaching. Her Top 5 Tips for Optimal Health included the importance of sleep, eating to help reduce inflammation in your body and of course being emotionally well. Her advice was broad enough that everyone could relate and still specific enough that the audiences was able to set three goals to help them on their own personal journey to better health.
With the support of many sponsors, including Cowan Insurance as the presenting sponsor for the afternoon, the event was able to raise $17,164. These funds will support programs for women and girls in the Cambridge and North Dumfries communities.
