Day of Resilience: 5k, Chalk Art, Beer Tasting, & Wellness Festival

Each year, the foundation holds an annual fundraiser surrounding the memorial that is the centerpiece to Aurora’s Water Wise Garden. Our signature annual event’s name has changed from "Reflection Garden on Tap: beer and chalk art festival" to the “Day of Resilience.”

The all-ages festivities will kick off on Saturday, July 20th, 2024, with DJ Sinna-G at 7:30 AM, followed by the start of the 3rd annual "The Hero's Journey" 5k Run/Walk at 8:00 AM, which is organized by Zack Golditch, a survivor of the shooting, former NFL player, and now a firefighter in Colorado.
Then while attendees explore our vendor and wellness booths, hear live music, and partake in tasting beer from over a dozen breweries (for those over age 21, wristband required), our 25+ talented chalk artists will be creating stunning works of art around our beautiful memorial. Each creation will reflect the event's theme of "Reflections of Resilience" and inspire attendees to spread hope, love, and positivity in their lives and communities.

We hope you can join us for this year's beloved Aurora event, on July 20th, from 8:00am to noon.
