Mission:
Facing It Together Inc is a 501(c)3 nonprofit health and fitness movement that makes effective workout experiences, nutrition and mental health amenities accessible to all communities. Our black and brown people are dying from preventable lifestyle diseases and we will act through service to end this epidemic.
The Problem:
Chronic diseases are among the leading causes of death, and rising health care costs in New York State (NYS). While obesity is still classified as an epidemic. These diseases are directly related to morbidness and are also among the most preventable.
Black and indigenous people of color communities are gym and food deserts. BIPOC’s American experience has created generational traumas and unhealthy coping tools. As a result, these social determinants and environmental disadvantages contributes to:
- Type II Diabetes
- Poor living conditions
- Cancer
- Heart diseases
- Early deaths
- Depression
- Anxiety
Our Promise:
Facing It Together inc will build inspiring, supportive spaces that helps people learn health and fitness habits that transform their lives. We offer engaging and fun programs at a price that encourages a diverse community of excellence. Facing It Together’s new approach to equitable health & wellness services will show proof that health and wellness is not a luxury, it’s essential to our communities.
Our traumas, poverty, inequities, mental and physical health problems; we’ll face them together.
85% of all funds raised will go directly to programming. Our executive director has postponed taking a salary until Facing It Together Inc has gained traction and more impact in our communities. Brister will work as the main service provider in partnership with his colleagues to face it together to heal. The remaining 15% of the funds will go to administration, marketing and technology.
Please, if you see fit to support and join the movement, donate.
