Lisa Cherry Health Fair

Since 1996, the Amarillo Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, a public service sorority, has hosted a community health and wellness fair. The fair was renamed in 2006 to honor the memory of Lisa Cherry, the chapter president who died that year following a battle with breast cancer. Corporal Lisa Cherry was a pioneer in her law enforcement career, and she cared deeply for the Amarillo community.

We honor her legacy by hosting the 2025 Lisa Cherry Health Fair on Saturday, June 7, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at AmTech Career Academy, 3601 Plains.

The event speakers will focus on the mind, body, and spirit.
