Color It Blue 💙 | You Reminded Survivors They’re Not Alone At our recent Color It Blue event with @bankofamerica, employees showed up in a big way with their time, hearts and voices. This handwritten note said it best: "To let other survivors know, they are not alone.” That’s exactly what you did. Through your support, compassion and willingness to lean in, you sent a powerful message to survivors: We see you. We believe you. We stand with you. To the Bank of America team, thank you for coloring the world blue with hope and empathy. 💙 #ColorItBlue #BraveStep #YouAreNotAlone #SurvivorSupport #BankOfAmerica #BehindTheBrave #CommunityMatters #HealingTogether #SupportSurvivors
