"Knowledge is a tool that can take us a long way in life, and we believe educating children about how to take care of their bodies is a great way to prepare them for their future." With roughly 300 children expected at the event, the new innovative program will consist of educational banners displayed at a series of stations where children can learn about health topics through games, music, and other activities. Additionally, children will have plenty of opportunities for fun, with activities such as face painting, balloon animals, interactive games, fire truck and much more. FWMC remains dedicated to advancing the health and vitality of their community, and on Saturday, October 29, 2016, they will honor leaders from Prince George's County and the State of Maryland for their trailblazing work in this mission at their gala, "All Hands on Deck: Collaborating for a Healthier Community." The black-tie event, held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center located at National Harbor, will celebrate the outstanding achievements, commitment and dedication of health professionals, community and civic leaders, politicians and various organizations throughout the state. More information about this year's honorees, as well as ticket and event information for the gala can be found at www.fortwashingtonmc.org.
