On this first day of December, we hope you’ve found a moment, or have one planned, to reconnect with the people you love. Whether it’s a handwritten note, a quick message, or time spent together in person, taking that step to reach out matters, especially in the midst of life’s daily hustle.

We also wanted to share a highlight from our first year participating in Skinny Raven’s 2025 Turkey Trot. Spending the morning with our Anchorage community, and seeing so many OPA staff out on the course, was truly inspiring. Over 2,700 participants came together to kick off Thanksgiving Day, creating an incredible atmosphere of joy, movement, and togetherness.

As we head into the holiday season, remember: we’re always stronger together, and the people who lift us up are the ones who help us live without limits.

Happy Holiday Season, Alaska! ❄️❤️
