Our next STIX Community Outreach event is going to be MOO-velous!

Join us Sunday, September 27 at 2:00 PM for an afternoon at the farm with Highland cows and other farm animals.

Come ready to:
🐮 Mingle with the cows and other farm animals, feed them treats, and enjoy their hilarious antics
🎲 Play co****le, giant Tetris, and mini golf
📸 Take some fun photos with the animals
💬 Chat, laugh, and spend some time together with other STIX families
🔥 And, weather permitting, gather around a campfire

Whether you're coming for the animals, the games, the photos, or just a chance to get out and enjoy an afternoon together, we can't wait to see you there!

Please RSVP to Stitches at [email protected]. Location will be provided with RSVP.

Thank you for making our Annual STIX Pool Party such a special evening!

We had an incredible turnout this year, with more than 150 people joining us at Comstock Pool—our highest attendance yet!

It was such a fun evening filled with swimming, good food, laughter, and time spent with friends. After everything our community has been through recently, we were especially grateful for the opportunity to spend some time together and enjoy a little bit of summer.

A special thank-you to Better Health Together for their Community Sponsorship of STIX Diabetes Programs. Their support helps fuel our Community Outreach events and allows us to create opportunities for families to connect, build relationships, and access support within our community. We are so grateful for their partnership and commitment to strengthening communities across the region.

And a big thank-you to Kona Ice of Spokane for joining us again this year! You were wonderful as always, and our families loved having you there.

Thank you to everyone who came, helped make the evening possible, and continues to be part of the STIX community.

If you took photos at the pool party, we'd love to see them! Share your pictures in the comments or tag STIX Diabetes Programs when you post them so we can enjoy the memories too.

We can't wait to do it again next year!

We know the past week has been incredibly difficult for so many in our community. Our hearts continue to be with everyone who has been impacted by the fires, especially those who have lost their homes or have been displaced.

We know a pool party doesn't change what has happened, but we hope Sunday can be a little bright spot, a couple of hours to step away, be together, reconnect with friends, and simply enjoy some time in the pool.

Sunday, August 16
5:30–7:30 PM
Comstock Pool
600 W 29th Ave., Spokane

You are welcome to arrive as early as 5:00 PM to check in and grab dinner so you're ready to swim when the pool opens promptly at 5:30 PM.

We'll also have Kona Ice for everyone to enjoy!

Please RSVP by Thursday, August 13, to secure a meal.

We'd love to spend time together this Sunday. Sometimes a little time together is exactly what we need. 💙

Tune in to KHQ tonight at 6:30 PM.

KHQ will be airing a story about the cancellation of Camp TWIGS and the impact the recent wildfires have had on our community.

We recognize that the cancellation of camp is just one small part of the challenges many families are facing. Our thoughts continue to be with everyone affected by these devastating fires. 💙

Our community has been through a lot these past few days. We wanted to share this helpful resource on supporting children during and after a wildfire. We hope you find it helpful. 💙

💙 Our hearts are with everyone in our community who has been impacted by the devastating wildfires.

We know this has been an incredibly difficult time for so many families, and we are thinking of all those who have been affected.

If you or someone you know has been displaced by the fires and is in need of diabetes supplies, please don't hesitate to reach out. While STIX is not an emergency supply provider, we can help connect families with resources and organizations that may be able to assist.

Please send us a message or email [email protected].

Take care of yourselves, check in on one another, and know that our community is stronger when we come together. 💙

TWIGS Families: Please check your email for an important update regarding TWIGS. Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s TWIGS program.

We know this is disappointing, and we appreciate your understanding. Please see your email for additional details.

Camp TWIGS Families,

Our hearts are with everyone who has been impacted by the current wildfires. We hope that you, your families, and your loved ones are safe.

We are aware of the current wildfire situation and understand that many of you may have questions about Camp TWIGS.

Please know that we are actively monitoring conditions and assessing any potential impacts to camp. The safety of our campers, volunteers, and staff remains our highest priority.

We will provide an update by email tomorrow as we gather the most up-to-date information and determine the best path forward.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support during this time. We will be in touch as soon as we have more information.

🎉 Big thanks to Better Health Together for awarding STIX Diabetes Programs a Community Sponsorship! This support fuels our outreach events, where our team meets families where they are — building relationships and offering direct support to those navigating diabetes in our community.
We're so grateful for BHT's commitment to strengthening the community-based workforce and the incredible partners doing this work across the region. Grateful to be one of them! 💙

👕 Camp STIX Lost & Found 👟

Did your camper come home missing something? We still have a collection of lost and found items from Camp STIX!

We'll have all lost and found items available at the STIX Pool Party on Sunday, August 16, making it the perfect opportunity to check for any missing belongings.

If you know your camper is missing something but won't be at the pool party, please contact us so we can make other arrangements.

We hope to reunite these items with their owners! 💙
