💗 FROM FEAR TO FIERCE: TURNING UNCERTAINTY INTO ACTION! 💗

What if the thing standing between you and your breast health is a fear you haven’t yet faced?

Join the The Foundation for Black Women's Wellness for our 4th Annual Wear Pink Day on Saturday, October 31 at 10:00am CST! We’re creating space for honest conversations about the mental and emotional barriers that can keep us from getting screened, asking questions, and taking action.

Through empowering insights and real conversations with oncologists and breast cancer survivors, we’ll explore how to move from uncertainty to confidence and from fear to fierce self-advocacy!

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, UW Health, UnityPoint Health - Meriter and the American Cancer Society, for helping us advance breast cancer awareness, education, and prevention in our community!

WE’RE STILL CELEBRATING THE MAGIC OF !

Just one week ago today we were gathered at the beautiful Monona Terrace for , and we’re still celebrating!

This morning, we’re sending a huge shout-out and THANK YOU to the many incredible vendors, exhibitors, and artists who helped bring our 18th Annual Black Women's Wellness Day Wellness Fair & Market to life!

This year’s Market continued our 18-year tradition of promoting local small businesses, and bringing a wealth of information and community resources to our guests to improve their health and quality of life – and with joy, movement and laughter sprinkled on top! To our 80+ vendors and exhibitors—THANK YOU for sharing your products, resources, services, creativity and passion with our attendees. You helped us create a vibrant space that celebrated entrepreneurship, supported economic empowerment, and showcased the brilliance and partnership within our community.

And to every guest who shopped, danced, connected with a small business, service provider, or one of our community partners – or simply took in the energy of the room—YOU helped make it wonderful!

A SURPRISE THAT LEFT US SPEECHLESS!

One of the most unforgettable moments of our 18th Annual Black Women’s Wellness Day came during our Opening Luncheon, when our longtime partner and Presenting Sponsor, the American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation, surprised us with an extraordinary $25,000 gift!

This incredible investment extends beyond American Family’s five-year $500,000 commitment to FFBWW between 2021-2026, which though concluding in December, significantly accelerated our ability to grow and sustain our vital programs, services, leadership initiatives, and organizational capacity. We are deeply grateful to AmFam for walking the talk and for a partnership that continues to believe in, invest in, and champion the health and wellness of women and families in our community.

We were equally thrilled and honored to surprise and present American Family and Nyra Jordan, Associate Vice President for Community & Social Impact, with our coveted Legacy Award, in honor of their leadership and courage in supporting the well-being of Black Women & families.

And, the impact of BWWDAY didn't end with inspiration! We left with tools, renewed purpose, and a deeper reminder that wellness is both personal and collective. Throughout the day, our speakers, facilitators, instructors, and community leaders brought our theme to life, reminding us what’s possible when we come together to center our well-being and to strengthen communities.

✨ The joy is real. The impact is lasting. And the work continues!

TO OUR BWWDAY 2026 SPONSORS: THANK YOU!

WHAT A DAY! WHAT A COMMUNITY! WHAT A POWERFUL SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR BLACK WOMEN'S WELLNESS!

Our 18th Annual Black Women's Wellness Day was an incredible celebration of health, joy, sisterhood, and collective power! And we couldn't have done it without the many generous sponsors who believed in our vision and invested in making it happen!

Our sponsors enabled our Team to bring more than 800 women, families, and supporters together to learn, move, heal, celebrate, and be reminded of what is possible when we put Black women's health and well-being FIRST!

And what a beautiful thing we created TOGETHER!

To every sponsor who stepped forward and stood with us this year —THANK YOU for believing in us, investing in our mission, and helping make our 18th year one to remember!

Community! Today, we are grateful for the generous donation of lunch from Dane County’s newest Potbelly Sandwich Works shop in Middleton, WI! We sincerely thank new Co-owners and sisters, Dr. Shanida Wray and Dr. Naomi Wray who are creating a lasting legacy—and already giving back!

As the first sibling multi-franchise Potbelly owners, co-owners Dr. Shanida Wray and Dr. Naomi Wrap reached out in search of a local organization serving the health needs of under-served communities to serve lunch in honor of their Grand Opening TODAY! Needless to say, they found us!!

Upon arrival, we expected only enough food for our Team of 14 -- but to our surprise -- they had enough sandwiches, chips, cookies, condiments and drinks to feed many dozens of people!!

Sooo -- we rolled into action and shared the bounty with three other nearby local non-profits also doing vital work in South Madison and Dane County!

Thank you to the Wray sisters and Potbelly Sandwich Works for celebrating your new beginning with us!

Be sure to visit them at 2177 Demingway in Middleton, WI!
