OHAI will host their first annual Statewide Tai Chi-A-Thon fundraiser on April 26 from 9 a.m. to noon at five locations – Oklahoma City, Durant, Enid, Catoosa, and Lawton.

Registration is $40 and includes a free event T-shirt for those registered by April 5.  Tai Chi is a series of gentle physical exercises and stretches.  Generally safe for all ages and fitness levels, Tai Chi can help older adults reduce their risk of falling, while also increasing balance and flexibility.  Health benefits include reduced blood pressure, better sleep, improved muscular strength, and enhanced mental well-being. 

Proceeds of the Tai Chi-A-Thon will help OHAI continue to reach all 77 counties across Oklahoma with health education classes and resources. It is open to those 18 years and older.  To register, visit www.ohai.org.  For questions, contact the Oklahoma Healthy Aging Initiative at [email protected] or by phone at 855-227-5928.
