“Don’t Cheat Your Body” Community Wellness Initiative

Coach Jackson was known for her unwavering dedication to health and her signature empowerment phrase, “Don’t Cheat Your Body.” These words have become a powerful call to action and the heartbeat of our “Don’t Cheat Your Body” Community Wellness Initiative.

Through this initiative, the Coach Cornelia A. Jackson Foundation is committed to raising awareness about colorectal cancer and the importance of early detection, regular screenings, and proactive wellness. We believe that health equity begins with access to knowledge and the encouragement to make informed, empowered decisions about our bodies.

Anchored in Coach Jackson’s legacy of strength, service, and compassion, this initiative hosts health fairs, fitness events, educational outreach, and community partnerships that inspire individuals and families to prioritize their well-being. Together, we honor her life by helping others protect theirs.
