June 25 Commemoration Ceremony
On Thursday, June 25th at 4-5 PM we invite you to come together as a community to commemorate and honor the many lives we’ve lost during the last few months - lives lost as a result of COVID directly/indirectly and lives lost as a result of racism and police brutality. We hope this ceremony offers an opportunity to come together, remember and grieve. Through that togetherness, we can grow in the hope that carries us forward.
Following the ceremony, we will continue to support one another in optional support breakout sessions from 5- 5:20pm.
