Established in 2022, HERSTORY designates 3rd of March as "HERSTORY Health and Wellness Day". The charity actively advocates for women's physical and mental health through various online and offline educational and caring activities. For this year's Herstory Health and Wellness Day, HERSTORY is collaborating with Goh Liu Ying, introducing the 'HERSTORY FITFEST x GLY 3V3 BADMINTON TOURNAMENT'.

A series of charitable activities like free oral check, health screenings and exciting game booths will also be available at the venue.

This event also marks Goh's first return to the badminton court - after welcoming her first baby who was born on the auspicious Merdeka day last year - acting as the driver and initiator of the GLY 3V3 Badminton Tournament.
