💜 Community Impact Recap – Circles of Peace
October was a month of connection, awareness, and action across Santa Cruz County. From drug prevention and youth leadership to community health, heritage, and celebration, every event reflected what happens when our community moves with purpose — together.
We celebrated Red Ribbon Week with schools and law enforcement, honored our roots through Heritage and Día de los Mu***os storytelling, raised awareness during Kickin’ for a Cause, Domestic Violence and Breast Cancer Month, and Su***de Prevention, and cheered on riders at the 13th Annual Nogales Bicycle Classic, our largest fundraiser for wellness programs. 🚴♀️
Our month also included Trunk-or-Treats, Spooktacular family nights, and impactful prevention work — from Naloxone SOS boxes and Mental Health First Aid certifications to AmeriCorps recruitment, YADA youth trainings, and parenting classes that strengthen families across Santa Cruz County. 💪
None of this would be possible without our incredible partners, volunteers, and community who show up — not just for events, but for each other. 💜
Together, we are building peace, prevention, and connection one moment at a time. ✨
