Walk With the 100: Step Up for Heart Health
Join our Success Academy students and chapter members at the 2026 Cape Fear Heart Walk on Saturday, October 24, at UNCW.
Bring your family. Invite a friend. Lace up those sneakers. We’re coming together for heart health—and we want you walking with us.
The 100 Black Men of Coastal North Carolina, led by our Health & Wellness Committee and Success Academy, is joining the American Heart Association’s Cape Fear Heart Walk. Walk alongside our students, mentors, members, and neighbors as we put health and wellness into action.
Our students learn from what we do. Let’s show them a community that makes time to move, cares for one another, and shows up for a good cause.
