Kinji Ridley will meet Young Leaders at Tidewater Community College (our normal location) begining at 8:30 with a TCC van to transport the members of SAAB and our Young Leaders to the PHAT conference.

The 6th Annual PHAT (Promoting Healthy Active Teens) conference is on Saturday, March 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Booker T. Washington High School. This conference was created by middle and high school students as well as parents to share pertinent information to keep teens healthy.

This conference is presented by the Cooper-Mercer Institute, who develops health and wellness programs for under-served populations, and will include workshops, entertainment, informational booths, breakfast and lunch. Cooking demonstrations and lunch will be prepared by Norfolk Public Schools culinary arts students under the direction of Chef Damon Armstrong in an effort to promote National Nutrition Month and bring awareness to adolescent obesity.

This year, in order to gain entry into the conference, attendees are asked to show community support and donate food that will go toward the Backpack Program at Jacox Elementary School.
One of the culminating activities of the conference is a step show competition that promotes a rigorous, fun and non-intimidating way to encourage fitness. Volunteers and organizations are encouraged to come out and participate.
