Volunteers perform at Get Up! Get Moving! event at the OneWorld Livestock Exchange Health Campus.
OneWorld’s ¡Vive tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® event creates big impact on South Omaha community
In July 2023, OneWorld, in partnership with the National Alliance for Hispanic Health and the Healthy Americas Foundation, hosted our seventh annual ¡Vive tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® event. Around 2,500 community members attended the free event that promotes fitness, good nutrition and wellness for people of all ages. “This event gives our community the opportunity to be introduced to quality health care services at OneWorld and other community organizations,” said Volunteer Specialist, Leslie Ibarra. “It’s a great way to combine education with family fun.” The 2023 event was sponsored nationally by the Siemens Foundation. At the event, community
members had access to free health screenings, dental hygiene checks, haircuts and more all while enjoying live music and performances from local groups. Over 600 backpacks filled with school supplies were given to children who attended the event to help them get ready for the start of the school year. “It is amazing to see our community get excited to celebrate health and wellness every year,” said Ibarra. “From seeing children smiling while taking their photo with Rosita from Sesame Street to cheering on the amazing dances and routines performed on the stage, this event is a great way to bring our community together.”
