We’re bringing the community together for an afternoon of live music by DJ Runway, local vendors, fresh finds from the Starr Hill Farmers Market, and plenty of good vibes!

Bring your lawn chairs, grab a blanket, invite your friends and family, and come spend a little time with us! No packed schedule, no rushing around. Just music, community, and an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful fall Sunday together.

❤️ WE CAME. WE SAW. WE COLLECTED BLOOD! ❤️

What an incredible Sickle Celebration! 🩸

To every partnering organization, volunteer, blood donor, supporter, and community member who showed up — THANK YOU! Our community showed up like never before, and together, we made an impact that goes far beyond one day.

We raised awareness. We gave blood. We connected our community with resources. Most importantly, we showed those impacted by sickle cell disease that they are seen, supported, and surrounded by a community that cares.

To all of our partners who helped make this possible, we could not have done it without you. ❤️

Until next year, Sickle Celebration! We love you, we appreciate you, and we’ll see you again in 2027! 🩸❤️

WE REVIVED. WE CONNECTED. WE THRIVED. 💚

Revive & Thrive was created with a simple belief: the people who spend so much of their lives caring for, serving, supporting, and showing up for others deserve a space where someone shows up for them, too.

Over two incredible days at Jefferson School City Center, that belief came to life.

Our community gathered to focus on the whole person — mental, physical, emotional, and financial wellness. Adults had an opportunity to pause, connect, learn, move, and access meaningful resources. Our teens were given space to create, dream, express themselves, build confidence, and have conversations about their futures.

But the true impact of Revive & Thrive cannot be measured only by attendance numbers or workshops.

It was in the conversations.
The connections.
The laughter.
The moments of reflection.
The new resources discovered.
And the reminder that taking care of yourself matters, too.

None of this happens without partnership. To every organization, facilitator, volunteer, presenter, community member, and supporter who poured into these two days — thank you. You didn’t simply help us host an event; you helped us create a space where people could feel seen, supported, and valued.

A special thank you to Carolyn Rainey and Bank of America for their financial sponsorship and continued commitment to helping make this work possible.

This is what community looks like when we choose to show up for one another.

Revive & Thrive 2026 is a wrap — but the impact doesn’t end here.

We leave these two days reminded that wellness is not a luxury. Community is powerful. And sometimes, the people who are always pouring into everyone else need an opportunity to have their own cups filled.

Until next year. 💚

Building Community. Creating Opportunity
