For the fifth year in a row, Ponte Vedra Wellness Center is hosting a Wellness Fair on Thursday, Sept. 27 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Sponsored by the Ponte Vedra Wellness Center in cooperation with the First Atlantic Bank, this event also celebrates the Wellness Center’s 14th year of operation in the Ponte Vedra Beach community. To be held outside the business’ office, which is located at the First Atlantic Bank building at the corner of A1A and Palm Valley Road, the event is free and open to the public and will benefit local charity Chemo Noir.
“I am honored to be celebrating 14 years and I know that our success is due to the great support we’ve received over the years from this community and from our patients,” practice owner Dr. Erika Hamer said. “This is the fifth year for the Wellness Fair and we are really excited about the diversity in wellness services this year. This family-friendly event is a great way to connect with the local health care community as well as highlight that there are many paths that lead a person to wellness.”
In addition to a party offering food and music, this year’s Wellness Fair will feature a variety of local wellness and health care providers. Each wellness table will offer a complimentary item, service or special offer to those in attendance, such as chair massages, postural screenings, fitness evaluations and more. PRP Wine International, Metro Diner and Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Ponte Vedra Beach will be offering samples and tasty treats. Kona Ice will be on hand with fruit-flavored shaved ice.
Once Wellness Fair guests visit all the tabletop displays, they will automatically be entered to win several raffle prizes, such as suite tickets to a Jaguars game; a local overnight getaway; and a family activity fun pack, among others, all donated by local businesses. While all food, services, and raffle tickets are complimentary, a donation to benefit Chemo Noir will be suggested.
“In addition to our wellness partners, we are thrilled to have the support of the Ponte Vedra Recorder and the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce/Ponte Vedra Beach division as well as First Atlantic Bank who allows us to hold the event in their parking lot,” Hamer added. “Everything will be free of charge, but we are hoping those attending will be inspired to give back to the community with a donation to our charitable partner, Chemo Noir — a local organization dedicated to providing financial support to the families, friends and fighters in their battle with cancer. This year we also will feature The Pink Heals Firetruck, which will be a great way to help usher in Breast Cancer Awareness month a little bit early.”
