Art imitates Life.

In addition to our traditional rally activities, we are thrilled to announce that this year's event will also serve as a mobile art show. The parade will showcase enlarged artwork from South Carolina students, featuring powerful messages and visuals that promote kindness, inclusion, acceptance, and confidence. This unique element will not only highlight the talents of our local youth but also amplify the core values of our anti-bullying campaign.

Encouraging young artists to channel their creativity towards themes of kindness, inclusion, and confidence not only promotes these values but also contributes to their personal growth and mental well-being.
