♥ Community Recap · October 4

Pink Sunday, in full color.

What a beautiful day of healing, wellness, and community. On October 4th, we came together at Detective Keith Williams Park in Queens to celebrate and support breast cancer survivors, both men and women. Showing Hearts was honored to be one of the sponsors.

Pink Sunday families and neighbors standing together

From health screenings and Soca cardio-fitness to the soccer tournament, auto show, and photo stations, the park was filled with pink, smiles, and so much love. Seeing families, survivors, and neighbors stand together was a powerful reminder of what hope, faith, and courage look like.

Hope, faith, and courage, all wearing pink.

♥ With Gratitude

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out, wore pink, and showed up for our survivors, and to our partners: NYPD Community Affairs Bureau, Liberty Ave & Briarwood Community, One Community, Drive Out Breast Cancer, Liberty Tiger FC, Soca Kardio Fitness, and Beyond Your Scars, for making this day possible.

♥ Community Recap · October 21

For our seniors.

On Wednesday, October 21, Showing Hearts was honored to be part of the Therapeutic Wellness Experience at Roy Wilkins Recreation Center in Jamaica, Queens, a Senior Appreciation Month 2026 celebration dedicated to the seniors who have given so much to our community.

Senior Appreciation Month 2026 celebration

From calming self-care moments to warm conversations and plenty of smiles, it was a day centered on wellness, connection, and showing our seniors just how valued they are.

Moments like these remind us why we do this work.

♥ With Gratitude

A heartfelt thank you to the NY State Senate, NYC Parks, our fellow community partners and sponsors, the volunteers who gave their time, and most of all, the seniors who joined us and filled the room with joy.
