Spring into Health: LGBTQ Health & Wellness Fair

On May 16, 2026, Black Educated Lesbians (BEL) proudly hosted our inaugural Spring Into Health Fair, which aimed to enhance community health access for all. This event brought together community members, healthcare organizations, wellness professionals, nonprofits, and advocates dedicated to improving health outcomes and increasing access to vital resources, particularly for the LGBTQ health community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every attendee, volunteer, sponsor, vendor, and community partner who helped make this wellness fair a success. Your support, participation, and dedication to health and wellness created a meaningful experience that connected individuals with valuable information, services, and opportunities to improve their overall well-being.

The Spring Into Health Fair was designed to promote physical health, mental health, preventive care, financial wellness, and community connection. Thanks to our incredible partners, attendees were able to engage with organizations focused on healthcare access, mental health services, nutrition, chronic disease prevention, financial empowerment, and other important topics impacting our communities.

We are especially grateful to our sponsors and community partners whose generosity helped bring this vision to life.

As you browse the photos below, we hope they capture the energy, joy, learning, and connection that made the day so special.

Thank you for helping us launch what we hope will become an annual tradition. We look forward to continuing this important work and hope to see you at the next Spring Into Health Fair!

Together, we are building healthier communities—one connection at a time.
