We have much to be grateful for, especially each other. Join us to:
- Celebrate the return of the light
- Express gratitude for family, friends, neighbors, frontline workers, teachers, businesses and more.
- Remember all those who have experienced hardship or loss.
- Look forward with fellow Alaskans toward a healthy future.
There’s no one way to do this. All we’re asking is that you step outside and shine a light. Take photos or videos and share them if you like on social media using the hashtag #WithYouAlaska.
