The Power of Connection and Wellbeing
How often have we wanted to thank, encourage, or support someone – but got busy or forgot? Our intentions were good, but the moment passed. Join us for one of Healthy UNCG’s most important wellness efforts, bringing the power of connection to the center of the UNCG community.
How it works
It’s simple:
- Request your 500 Fist Bump Connection Coins
- Fist bump someone
- Drop the coin in their hand, and say, “You deserve this because…”
It’s an easy way to show gratitude, support, or just let someone know, “I see you – you belong here.”
