Tomorrow is the big day, and we can’t wait to see you there!
Come out and support our amazing Bridge participants as they take the stage for The Courage Cafe Play during our inaugural Arts and Wellness Festival. They have been working hard, building confidence, and preparing for a moment to shine — and your presence will make it even more special.

Don’t meet us there, beat us there!
Let’s fill the room with love, energy, and support for our participants.

🎭☀️ The Bridge Summer Arts & Wellness Festival is coming!

Join us at Delta Arts Alliance for Courage Cafe Live!, a powerful participant-led play celebrating courage, confidence, and community.

We’ll also have participant reading projects, community wellness and resource vendors, food, DJ, dancing, and plenty of Bridge joy!

This is more than a summer event — it’s a celebration of what’s possible when our participants have a stage, a voice, and a community cheering them on.

May showed OUT at The Bridge!
From Cinco de Mayo celebrations, to visits with our furry friends at the animal shelter, to planting seeds, serving our community by cleaning up the park, participants starting new jobs, and having a blast at the bowling alley — our month was filled with joy, growth, connection, and unforgettable moments.

This is what we do at The Bridge. We create experiences that build confidence, spark purpose, strengthen community, and remind our participants that every day holds new possibilities.

And trust us — June is going to be even bigger and better.
The Bridge is just getting started!
