What started as a vision to bring people together through health, fitness, education, and community has grown into a decade-long celebration of wellness. Now, SMilesTV is sharing highlights from Coach Melody McClellan’s 10th Annual #FamFun3K, featuring event activities and interviews with sponsors and participants.

Mark your calendar: The broadcast is scheduled to air at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2026, on the SMilesTV YouTube Channel.

A Vision Rooted in Community

Ten years ago, Coach Melody McClellan, president, founder, and wellness expert at Unwrap You, set out to connect people through healthier living. Raising awareness of childhood obesity became a central part of that mission. According to Stephanie Anthony Miles, executive producer and host of SMilesTV, the awareness campaign began in East St. Louis and has grown into an international event.

Before transitioning into health and wellness coaching, Coach Melody worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Today, her wellness consulting practice, Unwrap You, designs sustainable health and wellness programs for corporations, individuals, and youth, with a focus on stress management, personal growth, nutrition, and self-care.

Giving Back, Year After Year

Community support remains an important part of #FamFun3K. During the 10th annual event, Coach Melody presented the East St. Louis Community Tennis Association with a check for more than $3,000 as part of the event’s commitment to giving back. Over the past decade, more than $80,000 has been donated to community programs throughout Illinois and Missouri, supporting resources, education, and organizations serving individuals and families.

More Than an Event

For Coach Melody, the milestone represents more than ten years of gathering together. It reflects a shared commitment to community wellness. “This journey has always been about more than an event. It has been about building healthier communities, creating opportunities, and inspiring generations to take action toward better health and wellness; from children and families to parents, grandparents, community leaders, volunteers, and local organizations, this has been a family-friendly, intergenerational, and community-based movement.”
