Summer Vibes!
Dear Friends,

The past several weeks have been chock-full with milestone celebrations, a fun after-hours concert, and outreach.

We've also been super busy preparing for our September 24th Walk/Run/Yoga Fundraiser & Community Expo and Breast Cancer Awareness Events.

We're thrilled to share that the Warriors will join our event as a Community Expo exhibitor. They'll have great giveaways and 2022-2023 season info plus they'll bring a prize to add to our free drawing prize lineup!

Register before August 31 at our registration page to secure your spot and make sure we have your commemorative t-shirt size!

We have more Walk/Run event news so check that out below!
