Remembering Salvador Mujica- Scholarship:
This year, Salvador was a dedicated participant in our 100-mile bike ride event. His tragic loss has profoundly impacted our community. Salvador was hit and killed while riding by a driver experiencing a medical emergency. His commitment to our cause and his vibrant spirit will always be remembered. In his honor, StRides Against Suicide & Overdose is establishing an annual scholarship in his name. This scholarship will support individuals in Northwest Indiana who need mental health and substance abuse treatment but cannot afford it.
Thank you for joining us in remembering Salvador and continuing his legacy of compassion and support.
