💚 9 YEARS OF NOT TODAY! 💚

WOW, WILLISTON!! What an incredible community we have! 🎉

Our 9th Annual NotToday Su***de Prevention Event was another amazing reminder of what happens when a community comes together to show our youth that THEY MATTER, THEY ARE LOVED, AND THEY ARE NEVER ALONE! 💚

🎥 Couldn't make it? Or just want to relive the fun? We've put together a little video recap to capture the smiles, the energy, the connections, and the incredible support that makes this event so special year after year!

👏 NOW FOR SOME BIG THANK-YOUS!

💚 A LITTLE SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW...

NotToday is NOT a fundraising event! It never has been. This event is about giving back to our youth, creating connections, spreading hope, and reminding every student that they have people in their corner.

Everything we do is made possible through private grants, generous donations, and an incredible community that believes in our kids!

🎉 AND GUESS WHAT?! NEXT YEAR IS OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY!! 🎉

TEN YEARS of showing up for our youth. TEN YEARS of spreading hope. TEN YEARS of saying NOT TODAY!

And you better believe we're dreaming up something BIG for 2027! 🤩💚

Over the years, many people have asked how they can contribute to this event. We don't typically make a public ask for donations, but with our 10TH ANNIVERSARY right around the corner, we're opening the door for those who would love to help us make it extra special!

If you or your business would like to support our 2027 celebration, you can donate through the ConnectUs Foundation, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

🌐 www.connectustherapy.org — Visit the Foundation page to donate!

💚 To everyone who has been part of NotToday, whether it's your first year or your ninth — THANK YOU!

Because of YOU, we get to keep reminding our kids that they are valued, supported, and never have to face life's hardest moments alone.

Same mission. Bigger dreams. YEAR 10, HERE WE COME! 💚🎉

‼️NOT TODAY – EVENT POSTPONEMENT‼️

It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we announce the postponement of today’s NotToday Su***de Prevention Event.🎗️

Our community has experienced a heartbreaking loss. Out of respect for the family and our community, we believe the most appropriate decision is to postpone today’s event and allow our community the space to grieve, support one another, and be together.

For nine years, NotToday has been about connection. It has been about reminding our young people that they matter, that they are never alone, and that there are people in this community who will show up for them.

That mission does not end because today’s event is postponed. In many ways, it matters now more than ever.

In the days ahead, we ask our community to take care of one another. Check on your people. Be present. Listen. Give one another grace. And remind the young people in your life, again and again, that they matter and that they never have to face difficult things alone.

Our hearts are with this family, friends, first responders and community members affected by this tremendous loss. 💔

Today, we will not gather as planned. Instead, we will honor what NotToday has always stood for by taking care of one another.

NotToday is more than an event. It is a commitment to keep showing up for each other.

If you or someone you know needs immediate emotional support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
