Connections
Third (3rd) District Councilmember Sharon McBride invites the community to attend the H.O.P.E. Community
Connections event during the Midwest Invitational Rodeo on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 2:00 until 6:00 p.m.,
at the St. Joseph County 4-H Fairgrounds.
This community initiative is being presented in recognition of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month and a
shared commitment to increasing awareness of mental health, reducing stigma, and connecting individuals and
families with the outstanding behavioral health resources available in the community.
From 3:00 until 5:00 p.m., attendees will experience The H.O.P.E. Musical Tribute Experience, presented by
Cultivating Life. This immersive community event blends contemporary inspirational music, personal testimony,
faith, and behavioral health education into a unique experience designed to promote hope, encourage meaningful
conversations about mental health, reduce stigma, and inspire healing.
Although this event recognizes Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, all organizations that provide mental
health, behavioral health, substance use treatment, recovery services, crisis intervention, youth and family services,
peer support, or other community-based resources were invited.
Following the tribute experience, there will be a fashion show at 5:00 p.m., line dancing at 6:00 p.m., and the rodeo
starting at 7:00 p.m.
