Celebration Life Foundation kicked off its 21st Annual Sister to Sister Fitness Festival earlier this month, and this year’s theme was “We’re on This Journey Together.” Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith’s sister, Marsha Smith Hill, was the event’s “kick-off coach.”
Hill, a breast cancer survivor, brought an inspirational and emotional message of faith. “Early detection is the key! Keep your atmosphere saturated with people who are positive, encouraging, and uplifting. Keep the ‘nay sayers’ away from you. Rely on the Word of God!”
The event hosted an array of all-star headliners, such as fitness gurus Donna Richardson and Cassie Cass, and was MC’d by Lynne Haze of KRNB Radio and Tashara Parker of WFAA News 8. The event also featured a colorful montage of vendors, food, dancing, gospel music, scholarship presentations, and inspirational speakers and testimonials.
