Ostomy Awareness 2024 was nothing short of AMAZING!

​

We brought ostomates, family, and friends together for a powerful, joy-filled weekend of connection, courage, and celebration.

 

The festivities kicked off with a lively meet and greet, followed by the inspiring UOAA Run for Resilience— where strength, resilience, and community were on full display.

​

The weekend reached new heights with the first-ever Blessed With a Bag Sneaker Ball Fundraiser! Guests enjoyed an unforgettable evening of live jazz, delicious dining, and a show-stopping fashion experience. The runway was set ablaze by incredible models — all proud ostomates or survivors — confidently owning their stories and redefining beauty.

​

It was more than an event. It was a movement. A celebration of resilience.

​

A reminder that we are truly Blessed With a Bag.
