African Americans are the highest percentage in the United States fighting Kidney disease, Diabetes and Heart disease. The goal is to ignite a nationwide movement that will empower people to take charge of their health, from prevention to treatment. Most adults who are “1 in 9” do not even know that they have this disease, much less are aware of the risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. We Rebuild Movement have collaborated with 1 in 9 to bring this awareness through our athletic events, such as 3 on 3 basketball tournaments, basketball clinics, and other sporting events for families and children.
