Metrocenter Mall and American Heart Association's Go Healthy Challenge was a great success once again. As usual, 1,000 backpacks with school supplies were given away and about a dozen activity booths kept the kids occupied. A Nintendo Wii, gift cards from Finish Line and Holliday's Fashions were given away, high fashion from The Source and six uniforms from Sears were generously given away. The activity booths kept the kids busy while also showing them how to have fun while being active and ultimately healthy. Other organizations that helped with the event included CMMC, United Healthcare and Allstate Insurance.

The Power to End Stroke event was a great event with the Delta Sigma Thetas reigning as step champions for the second year in a row!

Power To End Stroke is an education and awareness campaign that embraces and celebrates the culture, energy, creativity and lifestyles of Americans. The American Heart Association and Metrocenter Mall collaborate each year to help make the community aware of the signs of stroke and how to prevent them from happening, participants also sign petitions to become apart of the movement to end strokes.

Entertainment

There is also a step show segment, where organizations and groups display step performances which incorporate stroke awareness messages. Local artists also perform to keep the crowd motivated. The 2010 artists to perform this year were Noo Noo and Da Minista.
