Healthy Together: Body, Mind, & Soul
Walk for Wellness is an annual community health fair, fitness walk, and fundraiser benefiting Cancer Services of Gaston County. Now in its 11th year, the event brings together families, businesses, healthcare providers, and wellness organizations to support local cancer patients with free services like transportation, wigs, nutrition support, and financial assistance.
Join us on October 3, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to walk, visit wellness vendors, donate blood, shop, and celebrate cancer survivors. Together, we’re working toward a $20,000 fundraising goal to help ensure these vital services remain available to our community.
Want to be a sponsor? participate in the health fair? form a team to walk?

The Hope4NC Helpline (1-855-587-3463) connects North Carolinians to additional mental health and resilience supports that help them cope and build resilience during times of crisis. As part of the state’s recent hurricane recovery efforts it served over 4,400 people in the most impacted counties, and now it is being made available to everyone in North Carolina’s 100 counties during the COVID-19 crisis. This initiative is in partnership with all seven of the state’s LME/MCOs and REAL Crisis Intervention Inc. in Greenville. Hope4NC is now available 24 hours per day, seven days a week to speak to a live person.
