Brookfield Wellness Festival a Huge Success!

June 6, 2015 By Jon Dupree

2015-04-08 11.31.26The 2015 Brookfield Wellness Festival was held April 8th at the Brookfield High School. This new venue enabled the Chamber to work closely with the resources offered through the school, such as the robot eblast to all parents for marketing, the help from the various custodians and sports teams for set up, and the opportunity to engage the DECA Students in the planning and implementation.

Working in conjunction with Brookfield High School, the Health Fair was rebranded and combined with the Health Day annually put on by BHS to create the Brookfield Wellness Festival. Proceeds were to be split between the Chamber of Commerce and BHS for their HOSA Team (Health Professionals of the Future) to fund their trip to the National Competition. 48 vendors participated.

With exposure to over 1,000 students and faculty during the first time slot and another 200 participants from the general public, the response from the vendors was overwhelmingly positive.

A highlight of the day was the Networking Luncheon sponsored by Chick-fil A of Brookfield, who provided the food. Keynote Speaker and Chick-fil-a owner Devon Scanlon spoke on the topic of “Developing REMARKABLE Customer Service.”IMG_0237
