Community Builder Celebration

Join Whatcom Family & Community Network for the 2026 Dr. Ken Gass Community Builder Celebration, a community building and networking event that offers time to connect, inspire, and hope together for a stronger community in order to promote the wellbeing of youth and support the families raising them.

Gather with individuals and organizations from the community who are raising hope through Positive Childhood Experiences. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all!

Our Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Greg Hammer, retired Stanford physician, mindfulness expert, and author of “GAIN Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Healthcare Professionals” (2020) and "The Mindful Teen: Helping Today's Teenagers Thrive through Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgement" (2025).
