The virtual program began on Jan. 24 and will consist of daily prompts and digital live activities, culminating in a meet-and-greet with Keke Palmer.

The program will cultimate with a live celebration on Feb. 18 from 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. at the Cleveland Power of Sport Summit in Downtown Cleveland. 

A panel, featuring Palmer will be moderated by Kenya Brown, WZAK. Dr. Lisa Ramirez-Shah, youth mental specialist from The MetroHealth System and Jessica Vazquez, Right Direction Behavior Health Services, will support the conversation.
