Throughout the year, we participate in a number of events in the community, to remember Sage and to encourage the kind of the community that was so important to them. Beyond that... we are always looking for opportunities to grow! If you have an idea or see a need, SPEAK UP! We'd love to hear it!
🎵 CAMP CAZ
Currently, the Sage Casey Foundation sponsors two students in the community with a full, week long scholarship to Camp Cazadero Performing Arts Camp each summer. Camp Caz was Sage's happy place, and an amazing experience for them, where they were able to grow personally, musically and socially, and we hope it will afford other kids with this same opportunity. Keep an eye on this space, as we will be adding updates from past scholarship recipients to show you some of the awesome things they have been doing since attending Camp Caz.
🌈 Davis Pride and
Davis Walk/Run for Equality
In May, we participate in the Davis Run/Walk for Equality sponsored by the Davis Phoenix Coalition. Sage ran this race for the first time in 2016. It was their very first 10k and they WON the women's division. Not only was it a physical triumph, but a personal one for Sage, because the Davis Pride Festival happens at this same event, and Sage considered this their own personal coming out. In 2018 the race was dedicated to Sage, in their memory.
❤ AFSP Out of the Darkness
In October we participate in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Out of the Darkness Community Walk to raise awareness for suicide prevention.
🌈 Community Support
We also participate in a variety of other ways in the community to share Sage's story where we can, or provide support to other organizations that we see doing amazing work that we are honored to support. Rebekah does public speaking engagements whenever possible to share Sage's story, talk about the ripple effects of suicide, grief, recovery and reducing the stigma around mental health treatment. We have been very fortunate to support fantastic organizations such as Camp Ten Trees and The Trevor Project in their work, and look forward to being able to partner with them in the future as well.
At all of the events we do, we are the team covered in rainbows, making people smile, filling the day with color and joy and goofiness (and probably some degree of inappropriateness) and laughter and love... Sage wouldn't have had it any other way. We hope you'll come out and join us. The more the merrier!
