🌻 Thank You for an Amazing When September Ends! 🌻
After another incredible year, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who made it possible:
🙏 Sponsors: Spartan Housing Cooperative & MSUFCU
✨ In-kind donations: Devil’s Day Tattoo, Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants, and Erik Almquist
💡 Special thanks: Jillian Plant from Night Alliance for leading the planning and ex*****on!
We are so appreciative of Community Partners like the East Side Community Action Center. Thanks for providing a free dinner!
We are honored that community members like Shantel, Maryann, and Smokie trusted us to share their stories. We’re also grateful for all the moments of celebration and connection throughout the day.
🎶 Spending time with Ann Bell and the 517 Funktet was an absolute blast! Thank you to every performer, including Marsfade, Synsai, Cameron, Dr. Green, and so many others who shared music, stories, and inspiration with us.
💜 Great job, Lansing community! You showed up to support local entrepreneurs and people working to overcome homelessness. Vendors left satisfied with sales, and exhibitors had meaningful conversations about their passions.
A special thank you to The Fledge for saying “YES!” year after year and giving this event a welcoming home.
When a community comes together and stories are shared with honesty and heart, authentic storytelling and genuine connection have the power to make people feel seen, valued, and transformed.
