We’re excited to share a free upcoming community event centered around something we believe in deeply — the power of music to bring people together. 🎶

The **You Are Not Alone Song Contest Kickoff** will be an evening of music, hope, and community, celebrating the healing power of music and the reminder that no one has to face life’s challenges alone.

Songwriters, musicians, families, advocates, and anyone who believes in the power of connection are invited to be part of this special evening.

We hope you’ll check it out and support this meaningful event!
