This month’s issue includes our recent visit to a Washington Commanders practice along with youth in 480 Club and men from our Wellness in Black Life Initiative; JSSA Family Wellness Day on August 30; Thrive by 5 MoCo, a new website with resources that support children from birth to age 5; information about the Make Moco Purple campaign to raise awareness of domestic violence coming up in October, including an October 5 kickoff event, and more.

In early August, the Washington Commanders graciously invited the Collaboration Council to join them for one of their first training camp practices. Given how rare this opportunity was, we invited one of our strongest community partners, 480 Club, and some of the youth they engage in sports programming, along with some of the men from our WIBL (Wellness In Black Life) Initiative.
