We wear pink today to support breast cancer awareness! 💗

Nor-Cal Breast Cancer Connection said it best, “Early detection is the best defense against breast cancer. When caught and treated early, breast cancer has a 98% cure rate. Breast cancer can strike anytime: young and old, family history or no family history, healthy and unhealthy women. Breast cancer does not discriminate.” 💕💗

Join us this Thursday!

Join local leaders, residents, families, and organizations for an inspiring evening centered on the science of hope, connection, and belonging. Together, we'll explore how Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) strengthen individuals, families, and communities—and discover practical ways we can move from awareness to action.

Whether you're a parent, educator, healthcare provider, community leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of Shasta County, your voice and participation matter. Let's build a community where every child—and every family—has the opportunity to thrive! Register for free today and invite a friend!
