Walk & Get Inked for Mental Health — Event Recap
On May 4, 2025, community members came together for Walk & Get Inked for Mental Health, a unique event blending movement, creativity, and purpose. Through our group walk and tattoo flash fundraiser at Iron & Pine Tattoo Co., we raised $3,480 for HIKE for Mental Health — supporting trail conservation and mental health research. With the help of generous small businesses, nonprofits, and passionate individuals, the event was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when community shows up.
