The awareness campaign is the largest Wellness Initiative of its kind in Central Ohio and has expanded to Mahoning Valley, Toledo, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. The Wellness Initiative has provided thousands of residents free Health Screenings across the state of Ohio, resulting in recognition from President Obama and also by having August declared as African American Male Wellness Month by Governor John Kasich.     Because our event is entering the 15th year, we have increased community participation to over 50,000 Nationally (Est. 25,000 the Columbus Metropolitan area this year). With this effort we have screened over 2000 men (nearly 1000 in Columbus, OH) and impacted countless families through health awareness and education.  The area’s most influential people have echoed our mantra, “Know Your Numbers” throughout Central Ohio. By empowering residents of the area with education about their Physical Heath, Mental Health and Financial Health our goal is to help position the patriarch as a healthy, significant, stable and successful component of the American family." } ] } ] ```
