Simi Valley, CA, June 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Free
Clinic of Simi Valley announces the Community Health &
Fitness Expo, scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011 as one
of the nonprofit organization’s largest community service
endeavors ever. The major fund-raiser features a unique
partnership with Simi Valley Hospital and Kaiser
Permanente to deliver as many health care resources as
possible for the community in a single event.
The Community Health & Fitness Expo is set for 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. Oct. 16 at Simi Valley Town Center. Admission is
free for the general public. Sponsors and vendors are now
being sought.
To kick off the event, the Clinic announces its “100 from
100” promotion – asking for $100 donations from 100
individuals and businesses within the community to support
the Clinic and the Expo during this year’s 40th
anniversary celebration.
“What better way to celebrate our 40th year of service to
the community than to partner with health care providers
and offer tangible benefits to residents that they can
take with them to live healthier and happier lives,” said
Fred Bauermeister, Executive Director for the Free Clinic
of Simi Valley.
“The Expo will be unlike other health fairs in the region.
Our aim is to present demonstrations, guest speakers and
more so visitors leave truly feeling equipped to get
healthy and fit,” Bauermeister said. “Local community
members can get involved early with $100 donations,
hopefully from 100 different individuals and businesses.
And we are actively seeking major sponsors and vendors for
the event.”
Donors of $100 to the “100 from 100” promotion will be
included in promotional materials including advertisements
leading right up to the Expo. To contribute, write a $100
check to the Free Clinic of Simi Valley, with “100 from
100” in the memo line, and mail it to the Clinic at 2060
Tapo Street, Simi Valley, Calif. 93063. Donations to the
Free Clinic are tax-deductible.
The Community Health & Fitness Expo will feature dozens of
vendors presenting their services or offering health or
fitness related demonstrations; children’s activities;
special guest speakers; and more. Vendors may include
clinical professionals, bicycle shops, recreation and
sporting goods stores, markets, nutrition and vitamin
centers, and other organizations.
Demonstrations can cover healthy cooking; nutritional
eating; medical topics; CPR/first aid; tobacco use; poison
control; insect and snake bites; skin cancer; traffic,
bicycle and pedestrian safety; car seats; drinking and
driving; and fire prevention.
Special children’s activities and guest speakers also are
