June Well Living

PRIDE Month, Juneteenth & Father’s Day

Well Living is a celebration of the diversity of life and the people and connections that make our lives full. June will focus on celebrating and affirming the rights, equality and culture of LGBTQIA+ people. This month we will put forth our efforts by bringing community together and contributing to charities that can pave the way for a more inclusive future for all.

We also celebrate the significance of Juneteenth, commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States, and honor the men in our lives that inspire us on Father’s Day.

The diversity of life and our connections with each other are integral parts to Well Living.
