Stop into FashionPact's 68th and Lake Otis location on June 26 and 27 for their free book fair and bake sale fundraiser! They have 10,000 books that need to be re-homed, and they'll be giving them away to readers in our community. Hope will be hosting an info booth at the event.

Visit downtown Anchorage for the Anchorage Pride Parade, hosted by Alaskans Together Foundation. Get ready for lively music, colorful floats, and an atmosphere of joy and acceptance. Bring your flags, wear your boldest outfits, and march through the heart of Anchorage, spreading a message of hope, solidarity, and celebration.

So, like, totally grab your friends and join us for the ultimate 80's Sing-Along Brunch on Saturday, July 18 from 11:00am –2:00pm!

If you're still totally preoccupied with 1985, this is your moment to shine. Whether you're rocking big hair, neon, shoulder pads, or leg warmers, get ready to belt out all the songs you know by heart. Let's Rock This Town as we transform 907 Alehouse & Grill into the hottest sing-along spot around and turn every table into center stage!

Hungry Like The Wolf? Every ticket includes an amazing brunch buffet. (All beverages & additional menu items available for purchase.) Just Wanna Have Fun? We’ll keep the fun flowing with door prizes, three totally tubular hours of music, and enough nostalgia to make you want to tell everyone to Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.

No microphones, no pressure, no judgment—as if!—just a room full of people singing together and reliving the decade that gave us mixtapes, roller rinks, MTV, Pac-Man, and some of the greatest songs from the best decade EVER!

Grab your Aqua Net, tease that hair, pull out your acid wash jeans, wear neon everything, and get ready for a brunch where The Heat Is On and everybody’s working for the weekend. We'll be serving retro vibes with a side of synth-pop!

Building on the momentum of past events, the conference will once again bring together partners from across Alaska to share knowledge, explore innovative practices, and build partnerships in support of Trust beneficiaries. Attendees can expect engaging sessions, meaningful dialogue, and opportunities to connect around solutions that improve access, outcomes, and quality of life for Alaskans served by the mental health and disability care system.
