Our Theme of #RUOK? will address the non verbal response of our youth today when asked the question #RUOK?, if they are even asked it at all. Many youth and people in general are hurting, many are frustrated and many are hopeless. Our goal at this "Back to School Pep Rally" and "Street Fair" is to provide healing, hope and tools to be of service and support to our youth and the community as a whole. There will be something for everyone ( Parents & Youth).
If you agree that this is necessary and needed and you would like to help with your time, talents, donations, volunteering, etc we want to hear from you! This is an initiative for the community which calls for the communities participation. We need you!
