On Sunday, June 8th, we welcomed over 250 supporters to AmazinGrace: A Day of Gratitude - a new kind of HardyStrong gathering focused on reflection, connection, and celebration.

This year, we stepped away from the race and leaned into what matters most: the community that continues to carry Justin’s legacy forward.

With help from 75 incredible volunteers, 12 generous sponsors, and 16 in-kind donors, we shared food, played games, listened to amazing live music, and celebrated all that HardyStrong has become.

Thanks to your generosity and support, we’re thrilled to share that AmazinGrace raised $66,217 to support our mission - funding scholarships, expanding access to genetic testing, and advancing research in the fight against gastric cancer.

By the Numbers:

• 54 wine bottles and 33 spirits pulled in our popular Wine & Spirits Pull

• 29 attendees took their first steps toward life-saving genetic testing

• 2 spontaneous auctions sparked even more support and excitement

• Dozens joined in for HardyStrong Trivia — and many walked away with prizes (and bragging rights!)

• 3 storms in the 60 minutes of the day

We’re especially grateful to the volunteers who stayed through the unexpected downpours at the end of the day, helping clean up with soaked clothes and shining attitudes. Your dedication reminds us of everything this community represents.

Thank you to everyone who showed up with open hearts, helping us honor Justin’s life not just as a memory, but as a legacy we’re still living - in the way we love, support, and show up for each other.

We are, and always will be, #HardyStrong.
