We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the BOLSTER team who worked diligently each day of the Two Cultures One Community Powwow.

During and after every session, they stepped in to carefully clean and reset the space, ensuring it was ready to welcome dancers, drum groups, vendors, and guests again the next day. Their consistency, care, and hard work behind the scenes made a true difference throughout the entire event.

Their efforts may not always be front and center, but they are deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping us carry this celebration through each day with respect and professionalism.
