The spotlight is on Mary this June! ๐Ÿ’™

Last year, Mary took the cake for the most hours & longevity at our Rogers After School Program. Being a super start volunteer clearly comes naturally to Mary! ๐ŸŒŸ

Thumbs Up is so grateful to have such a wonderful team of volunteers and we couldn't be more thankful to Mary for her passion, kindness, and commitment to our students and mental health! Thank you for all you do, Mary! ๐Ÿ‘

2026 Theme Release: COMMUNITY ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‘

For our 13th Annual Race, weโ€™re celebrating something that has been at the heart of everything we do from the very beginning: Community.

Community is more than a placeโ€”itโ€™s the people who show up, lift each other up, and remind us that no one has to face lifeโ€™s challenges alone. Itโ€™s the volunteers who give their time, the families who support one another, the businesses that believe in our mission, and every participant who chooses to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Throughout the years, weโ€™ve seen the incredible impact that can happen when people come together with kindness, compassion, and purpose. This year, we honor those connections and celebrate the strength that comes from standing side by side.

Because when we come together, we create hope. We create change. We create COMMUNITY. ๐Ÿ’›

Big congratulations to Hannah Johnson, our Program & Operations Manager at Thumbs Up๏ฟผ, on graduating from the Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership Program! ๐ŸŽ‰

Hannah leads with compassion, determination, and a genuine heart for serving others. Over the past year, weโ€™ve watched her continue to grow both personally and professionally, and we couldnโ€™t be more proud of the leader she is becoming.

Her commitment to our mission, our team, and our community makes a lasting impact every single day. We are excited to see all the ways she will continue to lead and inspire others in the future.

Congratulations, Hannah โ€” this achievement is so well deserved! ๐Ÿ‘

๐ŸŒŸ Imagine Church!

We were grateful to have shared at Imagine Church in Albertville this past Sunday!

Thank you, Pastor Josh Christenson, for inviting our Executive Director, Katie Shatusky, and for making mental health a real priority in your church family. It meant so much to speak openly about the many โ€œfacesโ€ of mental health โ€” and how so many of us are really good at hiding our battles behind smiles and strength.

Katie shared some of the small (but powerful) steps she has taken in her own mental health journey:

๐Ÿ’› Acknowledging the pain
๐Ÿ’™ Choosing not to let it define you
๐Ÿ’› Seeking support tools
๐Ÿ’™ Asking for help
๐Ÿ’› Going to therapy
๐Ÿ’™ Seeing your doctor
๐Ÿ’› Taking medication when needed
๐Ÿ’™ And now, sharing her story

Katie also shared about the power of human connection and community โ€” how essential they are in building a supportive network around you when you struggle.

You donโ€™t have to do it alone. ๐Ÿซถ

If youโ€™re struggling in silence, please know youโ€™re not alone. Help is available. Reach out. You matter.

Thank you again to Imagine Church for the warm welcome and for creating space for these important conversations!
