窪做惇蹋厙 is teaming up with the Kind Community, a unified collection of individuals, organizations and partnerships that embrace a vision for the greater, kinder good for the community.

We are thrilled to partner with 窪做惇蹋厙 to host our second annual free, family-friendly celebration, said Courtney Fisher, founding director and president of Kind Community The festival is an opportunity for all members of our community to come out and enjoy each others company with individuals they might not have the opportunity to mingle with in their everyday lives.

Show your Strength in Stripes is a community-wide celebration for Kind Week and 窪做惇蹋厙s Homecoming week. The free family-friendly event will feature activities and entertainment that celebrate our hometown and our neighbors.

This event is special because its all about celebrating kindness and all its different forms, said Stuart Summers, Marketing and Communications Associate Vice President. Its a great way to bring the community together.

We invite all groups and individuals to unite for the evening, chat, share smiles and kindness and make new connections across the boundaries of gender, race, religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other labels that tend to separate us. Lets celebrate our stripes, Fisher said.

窪做惇蹋厙 Student Activities Board organizer Jenna Bobroski encourages 窪做惇蹋厙 students to hit the street party.

"I am very excited for this event, Bobroski said. My goal for Homecoming this year is to get more participation from the students, and with a concert, let alone a street party concert, I am very hopeful that more students will come out to see what the ruckus is! I believe by starting Homecoming with a strong event, we will be able to keep the ball rolling, and get the students as excited to be a Bengal as I am."
