Bloomsday Spiral Event

Bloomsday mental health awareness event was a HUGE success! We handed out over 2000 spiral ribbons, tons of spiral tattoos, and reached over 10,000 people! Runners, walkers, wheelers, strollers, spectators, vendors, and volunteers all heard the message of the importance of community, connection, and resilience on mental health and suicide prevention. Resilience saves lives. And this past weekend, everyone who participated made a difference!
