What an incredible day!! 💙

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate 20 years of ¡Vive Tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving! at the Los Lunas Sports Complex. It was a beautiful day of health, connection, and community.

A huge thank you to Presbyterian Turquoise for donating and providing free flu shots. Everyone who received a flu shot was rewarded with a free Family Arts & Culture pass courtesy of the City of Albuquerque, which included admission to the ABQ BioPark Zoo, Aquarium, Botanic Garden, Albuquerque Museum, and Balloon Museum.

Thank you to the Village of Los Lunas for helping secure the park, bringing the rock wall, and having the fire and police departments join us. Thank you to Vitalant for taking blood donations, Niagara Water for providing water, Walmart of Los Lunas for the gift card donation, and the National Alliance for Hispanic Health for presenting this event.

A special thank you to Ballet Folklórico de Aztlán for coming and giving fantastic performances with their students. They offer completely free classes in Los Lunas for local children, teens, and young adults, from beginner to advanced levels.

We also want to recognize the $600 in fresh fruit given away, $5,000 in gifts won through free raffles, and all the dancing and fun that made this day so special.

What a way to celebrate 20 years. Thank you, Los Lunas, for showing up!!
