Participants of the program marked the end of their journey with a nutritious celebration, enjoying healthy Subway sandwiches in honor of their collective achievement. Loretta Smallwood and Victoria Gibson led the adult winners with their outstanding results, while the youth participants were rewarded for their dedication with bicycles and Cricut water bottles.

The event also featured an educational talk by Kellie Gray, nutritionist, who shared valuable insights on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Her contribution to the program provided participants with the knowledge and motivation to continue their wellness journey beyond the summer.

Special recognition was given to Payshence Henson, the dedicated trainer whose guidance was instrumental in the success of the participants.
