Welcome to the Crossing Bridges: Hip Hop Health Summit!
Crossing Bridges is a semi-annual health event designed specifically for teen males, focusing on issues of important to them. Things like the important of exercise and eating healthy, how to handle peer pressure, decision making skills and more. Every other year teens from the community get together to discuss concerns that are a priority to them. Our goal is to provide these boys with a comfortable environment to ask questions and get answers that will help them lead healthy productive lives.
We’ve been fortunate over the years have the support of the Orlando Magic, US Army, and Cox Radio to bring in guest speakers and giveaways that make Crossing Bridges not only educational, but fun as well. Former NFL running back Rick Waters was the guest speaker at our last event and shared some of his life experiences with the boys. Basketball greats Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and Nick Anderson have also served as keynote speakers for this event.
