7th Annual Reflections of Resilience Day @ the Big Dam Bridge

Thursday, June 11th, 2026, Sunset (8 pm)

Take time with the community to reflect on the lives that were taken on June 12th at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando, FL, with Arkansan Chris Hansen, a survivor of that tragic night. We will gather in peace and solidarity to honor the 49 victims of the June 12th, 2016, mass shooting. Educating, advocating, facilitating acceptance, and community as we come together in remembrance for those killed by acts of hate, violence, and suicide.

Let’s join together to build a bridge between the gap that divides us. We shine a light for those in the dark, sharing together, we’re uniting our communities and crossing over together with love, hope, support, strength, unity, and healing. Come out and be a part of this beautiful vigil as we observe a moment of silence. Our “Rainbow of Remembrance” experience the beauty of nature as we walk the bridge with family, friends, and pets.

The Big Dam Bridge serves as a connector of our cities here in Central Arkansas, a symbol of how love can build a bridge between our hearts, with our diversity, appreciating the talents that we all bring to the table. Hate has no room here.
