What an incredible day at Sawyer Point for our first-ever be.well "Try It" day. Last month, the children from the be.well program laced up their skates and experienced the joy of roller skating! In partnership with @skatedowntowncincy, these young skaters took to the rink, embracing new challenges and building confidence with every glide. The laughter and smiles were contagious, and it was amazing to see everyone enjoying the freedom of movement and the joy of community. A huge thank you to our wonderful partners and volunteers who helped make this event possible. Together, we’re creating moments of happiness and empowerment, one spin at a time.
