The Heart of the Waltz

Walt’s Waltz was born out of a promise to turn loss into a movement. This Faire is a celebration of Walt’s belief in making people feel seen and heard. We aren't just building shields and crowns; we are building a community where no one has to 'dance around' mental health conversations.

Proudly supported by the Elevate Upstate Grant.
