As we celebrate the season, it’s impossible ignore that our community has been navigating some incredibly challenging times recently with everything surrounding the Jane Doe case.
But moments like this remind us why our alumni and friend network is so vital. We aren't just a network on paper; we are a community that shows up for one another. Our bonfire party holds special meaning this year: it’s about finding warmth, strength, and comfort in each other's company, and reinforcing the bonds that keep us together no matter what comes our way.
Just bring yourself and a little holiday cheer. Let’s make new memories together!
We’ll roast s’mores around a fire pit, and we’ll supply beverages and treats.
(Some treats are gluten free)
Bring a beach chair or blanket, if desired.
$15 registration fee.
