As we approach three years since the horrific events of October 7, 2023, we invite our community to come together in remembrance and honor the lives lost.
We will gather to memorialize the victims and invite participants to take part in a remembrance walk or commemorative run. The program will also feature wellness stations, creating space for reflection and healing.
Together, we hope to find comfort in one another, draw strength from our unity, and honor the memories of those we have lost 💙
