The Countdown Is On
Until the Community Kindness Day & Walk
A Community Where Everyone Belongs
Community Kindness Day & Walk is more than a walk, it's a celebration of friendship, inclusion, and community. Bring your family, friends, coworkers, or come on your own. Together, we'll walk, roll, volunteer, cheer, and celebrate a community where everyone belongs. This year's theme, Be Amazing , reminds us that kindness is where belonging begins.
