Join us for the 6th Annual Be the ONE Run/Walk, a community event dedicated to mental/brain health
awareness, to support those living with a mental/brain illness or have been impacted by suicide loss.
Founded through a partnership between Biggby Coffee and i understand, the Be the ONE Run/Walk
has become a meaningful West Michigan tradition, bringing together individuals, families, businesses,
schools, and community leaders who believe that connection saves lives and that no one should face
life's challenges alone.
As we enter our sixth year, i understand is honored to continue this important event while recognizing
Biggby Coffee as the Founding Partner whose leadership helped establish and grow the Be the ONE
movement during its first five years.

create hope, awareness, and connection within our community.
