We are so excited to have our Bluffton native Miss South Carolina Julia Herrin at our NAMIWalk event this Saturday, October 9th, 2021 from 8:30am until noon. 🚶📆

NAMIWalks is an event that units across the country, virtually and in person to support mental health. Julia Herrin's platform focuses on empowering young people to use social media in a positive way, building self-esteem, and becoming a catalyst for change. We want our future to have mentally strong young people who are strong enough to speak out like Miss South Carolina. 💪

Join us in-person at Coligny Beach in Hilton Head or virtually in your own way. There is no fee to register for this event, but donations are appreciated. Every individual who personally raises $100 will be recognized on walk day with our event t-shirt.

Honoring our past, forever forging forward.

is the perfect time for us to reflect on just how far we've come. Women like Betty Friedan are the reason for that. Friedan was an icon in the women's rights movement and became a household name with her book The Feminine Mystique in 1963. Her writing explored the idea of women finding personal fulfillment outside of their traditional roles, creating a new standard for female empowerment. She co-founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966 and advocated for an increased role for women in the political arena. Friedan was a pioneer of feminism and women's rights. She exceeded expectations. She dared to be more. So let's cheers to her - and every woman, today and every day.

Say hooray for chlorophyll, because February 11 is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! This day is an opportunity to place a much-needed focus on the accomplishments of women and girls in science. We should also take a chance to discuss the improvements society can take to increase the number of women in science and better help them succeed. Have some fun today by learning about female scientists and support young women in pursuit of a STEM career.
