Chapter Highlight: Pacific Northwest Napa Valley Run/Walk The Napa Valley Run/Walk took place on September 16th at Napa Valley College and was a huge success, with teams and individuals raising over $140,000! The Run/Walk brought out 350 participants and a visit from the local fire department, who provided the flag for the opening National Anthem! Our heartfelt speakers brought the community together by sharing their stories, experiences, and hope. According to our Pacific Northwest Chapter Director, Kourtney Brandt, their openness and participation made the event feel extra special.
