The Hickory Hill Community Redevelopment Corporation (HHCRC) has teamed up with Hickory Ridge Mall, World Overcomers, MSC Health Department’s Healthy Start Program, All Babies Count, and SuperLo Foods to host an iM AWARE! 5k Walk/Run. Organizers of the event hope to increase public knowledge about infant mortality and advocate for a healthy start and bright future for all babies in Memphis and Shelby County. Proceeds will go to support The Baby Store which is opening in Hickory Ridge Mall.
