Community Calendar

Talk It Out, Walk It Out, presented by Remembering Cherubs in partnership with The Wright Museum, is an annual event to raise awareness of the health disparities impacting Black women.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 2, 2025, at the Charles H. Wright Museum to walk three laps around the museum grounds, followed by a full lineup of engaging activities flowing both inside the museum and outdoors on the surrounding grounds. Admission is free!

On Sunday, August 10, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Pain to Purpose will bring together survivors, caregivers, wellness experts, and advocates for a powerful morning of healing and hope, all to raise funds for The V Foundation’s life-saving cancer research. Co-hosted by Live Well Lead Well and B.T.R. Nation, this 40-guest gathering will take place at the serene Adams Manor, where nature, nourishment, and non-toxic living converge in support of a vital cause. Adams Manor is located at 3800 Adams Road in Oakland Township, MI.

Actor and comedian Dave Coulier will headline the event, sharing his personal cancer journey and how the intersection of movement, nutrition, and mindset supported his recovery. Guests will enjoy a guided nature walk, healing-centered wellness tools, nourishing breakfast bites, and meaningful conversations with founders and experts. A live Q&A session with Dave Coulier, Ashley Nickelsen (founder of B.T.R. Nation), and a representative from The V Foundation, will offer attendees a deeper connection to the mission.

Join us for a day of fun and friendly competition! Proceeds for this event support the MARSP Foundation Scholarship Fund, which provides professional development scholarships to Michigan public school employees. (To make the day even more exciting, our friends at AMBA are sponsoring a $10k Hole-in-One Challenge.)
