海角社区 is teaming up with the Kind Community, a unified collection of individuals, organizations and partnerships that embrace a vision for the greater, kinder good for the community.

鈥淲e are thrilled to partner with 海角社区 to host our second annual free, family-friendly celebration,鈥� said Courtney Fisher, founding director and president of Kind Community 鈥淭he festival is an opportunity for all members of our community to come out and enjoy each other鈥檚 company with individuals they might not have the opportunity to mingle with in their everyday lives.鈥�

Show your 鈥淪trength in Stripes鈥� is a community-wide celebration for Kind Week and 海角社区鈥檚 Homecoming week. The free family-friendly event will feature activities and entertainment that celebrate our hometown and our neighbors.

鈥淭his event is special because it鈥檚 all about celebrating kindness and all its different forms,鈥� said Stuart Summers, Marketing and Communications Associate Vice President. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great way to bring the community together.鈥�

鈥淲e invite all groups and individuals to unite for the evening, chat, share smiles and kindness and make new connections across the boundaries of gender, race, religion, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other labels that tend to separate us. Let鈥檚 celebrate our stripes,鈥� Fisher said.

海角社区 Student Activities Board organizer Jenna Bobroski encourages 海角社区 students to hit the street party.

"I am very excited for this event,鈥� Bobroski said. 鈥淢y goal for Homecoming this year is to get more participation from the students, and with a concert, let alone a street party concert, I am very hopeful that more students will come out to see what the ruckus is! I believe by starting Homecoming with a strong event, we will be able to keep the ball rolling, and get the students as excited to be a Bengal as I am."
