This year's highlights include the 'Kick the Stigma' kickball tournament, the addition of a new pickleball tournament, an all-ages art contest, family-friendly activities and live performances by local musicians. Wellness experts will also be on hand to share coping strategies and connect attendees with local resources. 'Stigma is a barrier that prevents individuals from seeking the help they need,' Aaron M.

Local businesses and community members can support the event through sponsorships, which range from event sponsorships to vendor participation.
