Creighton University’s Health Sciences Multicultural and Community Affairs Department, HS-MACA, hosted its 4th Annual Let’s Move Let’s REACH Physical Activity Day in the North Omaha Community. Beyond creating an enjoyable day for residents to have fun and visit with friends and families, this event is a positive way to celebrate the community spirit of North Omaha and learn more about the value of physical activity in reducing the risk of heart disease and improving quality of life.
The day began with one-mile run/walk event from 24th and Cuming Street to 24th and Lake Street followed by several cardio related activities at Dreamland Park. The event was attended by over 200 individuals from the North Omaha community.
Our sponsors included: Creighton University department of HS-MACA, Creighton University LB692 Tobacco settlement funds, Barnes & Nobles, Hy-Vee, Chubb’s Grocery Store, CU Athletic Department, Smitty’s Garage, Children’s Hospital and Medical Center, Nebraska Total Care, Phil’s Foodway, United Health Care, Hiland Dairy, Genua Consulting, Olympia Cycle and The Bike Shop. Thank you to all that attended and involved in planning to help make this event a success.
