Beads of Connection
We’re calling on everyone—individuals, schools, and organizations—to help us craft unique bracelets that celebrate connection and inclusivity.
These bracelets will be part of event packs, and on March 9, 2025, you’ll have the chance to exchange yours with another participant. Together, we’ll share smiles, stories, and meaningful moments of connection!
By the end of the Colour Dash, every participant will have exchanged a Beads of Connection bracelet—a vibrant reminder of the beautiful, connected community we’re creating.
