We were proud to partner with the Optimist Club of Riverside to bring this event to our community, welcoming approximately 70-80 children and their families for a day focused on bike safety, fun, and community connection.

From smiles and laughter to learning important safety tips, the day was a wonderful reminder of the impact we can make when organizations come together to support local families. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success — especially our amazing team members, volunteers, and community partners who gave their time and energy throughout the day.

We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to our generous sponsors and supporters:

Last night, we gathered for Healing Hearts, a gentle space for grief, connection, and remembrance. 💜

Together, we created memory boxes, each one uniquely filled with love, memories, and meaningful moments that honour those we carry in our hearts. Through shared stories, creativity, and compassion, we were reminded that grief does not have to be walked alone.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and allowed themselves to be vulnerable, supportive, and present with one another.

May these memory boxes serve as small treasures of comfort, connection, and healing in the days ahead. 🕊

Have questions? Send us a DM, and we will help guide you.

💛 Don’t forget to reserve your spot for our upcoming Healing Hearts: Creative Memory Box Grief Workshop.

A memory box is a meaningful way to capture, preserve, and honour the life of someone you love through treasured photos, words, and keepsakes. It can bring comfort, connection, and a lasting reminder of the memories you hold close to your heart.

No artistic experience is necessary — just bring your memories and an open heart. All supplies will be provided, and everyone is welcome.
