On Saturday, at the Brownsville Recreation Center, the Brooklyn Breastfeeding Empowerment Zone with Health First sponsored a father's day event, "Hoops for Health," honoring men and fathers as CHAMPIONS of health.
The goal was to inform and engage men in the Brownsville community and surrounding areas on the numerous health services available to them as residents. The day featured a basketball tournament, interactive workshops for kids and adults, resource tables, including job information.
