Each year the Psi Lambda Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi, Fraternity Incorporated partners with the North Manhattan Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority Incorporated to bring fun and healthy living to the village of Harlem. The event held in the Polo Grounds Community Center features health screenings from Metro Plus, American Red Cross, and many others.
PsiLL and NMAC donate around 1000 backpacks to grade school children in their annual affair. Kids can get their face painted, grab a hot from the grill, and some much needed school supplies for the upcoming school year.
The backpacks are for elementary, middle, and high school age children who live in the neighborhood. Each year families pour out to see this event in full swing. A marching band will entertain the crowd while parents will get screened from everything from high blood pressure to diabetes. The Annual Family Health Symposium and Backpack Jam is a signature event of Psi Lambda Lambda and its communities partners. Don’t miss the next coming up August 26, 2023 at 10AM in the Polo Grounds.
