On Saturday, September 14, 2002 the Celebrating Life Foundation will host its 3rd Annual Sister to Sister (5k) Fitness Festival at Kiest Park in Dallas,  Texas. 

 ”We are very excited about the success of the Sister to Sister Fitness  Festival (5K), ” states Sylvia Dunnavant the Founder and Executive Director  the Celebrating Life Foundation. “We think it is very important to  promote overall healthy lifestyles in our community, therefore this event is  the perfect well- rounded way to promote general health, ” added Dunnavant. 
 
“However, because the primary focus of this event is to promote breast cancer awareness in the African American Community we will have special gift packs as well as free mammograms which will be provided by St. Paul Mammography Unit and Methodist Hospital for women without insurance,” states Dunnavant. 

The Festival will began with a race/walk at 8:30 am and will include various health screenings. There will be 18 vendor booths providing health-related information including nutrition, body fat analysis, blood pressure screenings, and body building consultations. 
 
Even the kids will have an opportunity to take parking in the festival, because there will be special children’s area. This area will include clowns and face painting.
