WHY RUSSELL ROCKS THE BLOCK EXISTS
Continuing a Legacy of Service
Herman J. Russell believed that success carried a responsibility to invest in people and support the communities around him.
Russell Rocks the Block carries that belief forward by bringing employers, health and wellness providers, local organizations, vendors and residents together in one welcoming place.
Now in its sixth year, the event continues to make helpful services and information easier to access while giving families and neighbors a place to gather, enjoy the day and learn more about what is available in their community.
Something for Everyone
Russell Rocks the Block offers a full afternoon of resources, activities and entertainment for guests of all ages.
