Dr. Brendon McCollom, a Mercy physician, is partnering with The Come Up Foundation to provide health and wellness checks to the youth. He will also help develop a plan for nutrition instruction to be added to the organization’s curriculum.
“It’s been a pleasure to witness first-hand the incredible opportunity The Come Up Foundation provides to the underserved youth in Oklahoma City’s urban core,” said McCollom. “We will get this done!”
Executive Director Emmanuel Rivera said, “Martial arts is a lifestyle that can play a role in reducing obesity and other unhealthy behaviors, and we’re so appreciative of Dr. McCollom’s ongoing contributions to helping The Come Up Kids.”
