Be A Light Project: In 2024, we partnered with NAMI Dubuque to create the first-ever ‘Be A Light’ 5K Mental Health Awareness Fun Run. The event aims to educate the community about mental health and introduce accessible mental health resources to the local community. Rural Americans face higher rates of depression and suicide compared to urban residents, making community outreach projects critical. These projects bridge gaps in services and education, helping rural residents improve their quality of life. Click Here for Registration: [https://runsignup.com/Race/Register/?raceId=179438]
