Can't join us October 18th? Send us your baby's name, and we'll memorialize them during our race. While it's astounding (and heartbreaking), it's also incredibly profound to see all the names. Hugs and warm wishes. See you next Sunday 🌈

🌈 What an incredible day! A massive thank you to everyone in our amazing Chasing Rainbows community who showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and brought so much energy to our volunteer tie-dye event today! Our race shirts are going to look so vibrant and full of love.

​A special, heartfelt shoutout to OBX Wake & Take for hosting us and being such an incredible sponsor for this year’s event. We couldn't do this without your support! 🌊✨

It was an honor to be surrounded by people that care deeply about our community and are constantly striving to find ways to help serve others.

This morning's Community Services Collaborative meeting was filled with inspiration & productivity. ✨ And, it was so well-attended that we couldn't all fit in a photo OR a social media post! [it won't allow me to tag everyone].

The Community Services Collaborative meets quarterly with the goals of networking and spurring cooperation among area helping groups.

The next meeting will be on December 4th. Follow the link in the comments to sign up for our Collaborative newsletter.

Special thanks to the Outer Banks Community Foundation's Outer Banks Center for Nonprofits for serving as the gathering place, and to Jeff Schwartzenberg of Visit The Outer Banks for facilitating the discussion.
