Today marks seven years since Riley heroically gave his life so that others could live. On this day seven years ago, he did not hesitate. He knew what needed to be done. His courageous, selfless act will never be forgotten.

We remember his goofy laugh.
We remember his love of food.
We remember his love for animals.
We remember his desire to be kind to everyone.
We remember his love for the outdoors and for the planet.
We remember the deep love he had for his family and friends.
We remember his passion for pushing himself and doing hard things.

Today, honor Riley in your own way. Go for a run, spend time outside, share a big meal, donate blood, or show kindness to a stranger.

We remember you, Riley. We love you.

Seven years on, we are still living with what was lost that day. Riley is one of so many. Every day, people lose their lives to gun violence, and more families are pulled into the same grief. This cannot keep happening. Show up for the candidates and organizations fighting for gun safety. Volunteer, donate, vote.

This past week, we had the privilege and honor of supporting by sponsoring and attending their show in Hendersonville, NC. ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence is a nationwide organization that calls on teens to confront gun violence by creating new works of theatre that powerfully express the preventable tragedy and pain gun violence causes. These plays spark critical conversations and inspire meaningful action in communities across the country. The nearly sold out crowd was moved by the words of the six teenage playwrights, and the cast and crew did terrific a job bringing those words to life.
