When: Saturday, May 19, 1 - 4 p.m.
Where: Wake County Commons Building, 4011 Carya Drive, Raleigh, NC
The rally is going to be an empowering event for young leaders in the community to not only develop advocacy and leadership skills, but to stand up and say that school health is an important issue.
