#ThrowbackThursday | Toast to 10 💙 Over the pa #ThrowbackThursday | Toast to 10 💙

Over the past decade, we’ve had the incredible privilege of partnering with organizations that share our heart for wellbeing and impact — like the amazing team at @playing4others.

This moment from 2016 reminds us that our mission has never been a solo act. It’s been fueled by collaboration, compassion and community. Together, we’re building a stronger support system for those impacted by sexual violence.

To every partner who’s walked beside us, thank you. Here’s to the next 10 years of bold, brave work. 🥂

They sit beside us at work. They gather with us at They sit beside us at work.
They gather with us at family dinners.
They laugh with us in friend groups.
And many never speak a word of what they’ve survived.

Sexual violence affects 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men, yet so many never disclose — not out of weakness, but out of fear, shame or the need for safety.

This "Behind the Brave" honors every survivor. Those who have shared their truth and those who carry it quietly. You are seen. You are not alone. 💙

You showed up. You spoke out. You stepped forward.

From the ribbons you wore to the miles you moved, YOU were the voice of change this April.

Together, we reached more than 76,000 people, spread over 4,000 blue ribbons, logged thousands of volunteer hours, and sparked conversations across 30 U.S. states and around the world. 🌍💪

🎥 Watch the Color It Blue 2025 Highlight Reel and see the power of one community standing strong for survivors of sexual violence and child abuse.

Because when we move together, we grow together.
