Our warmest gratitude to all who participated in our Annual
“Choose Respect” March that took place last Thursday, Mar. 30th
including St. Mary’s students, parents, and teachers, Kodiak Police
Department, Alaska State Troopers, and Kodiak Community
Members.
A special thank you to the volunteers who prepared and cleaned
up before and after the event.
Thank you to KMXT Public Radio and Kodiak Daily Mirror for
covering the event.
Thank you to all the nonprofit organizations who embraced the
opportunity to share with our wonderful community the resources
available for those in need and to help educate those who wanted to
learn more at the Resource Fair that followed the march.
Thank you to our Coast Guard family for their donations and for
all the financial gifts from different community organizations that
were put to good use in preparation for our annual march.
We are enormously grateful for our partners, Sun’aq Tribe of
Kodiak, Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center, and Kodiak Area
Native Association who helped make the 2017 “Choose Respect” March
such a wonderful success!
KWRCC appreciates being part of a community that always comes
together to make a stand for the things that really matter in
life.
THANKS FOR CHOOSING RESPECT!
