12:00 PM to 3:00 PM

We are pleased to introduce our 2nd Annual charity awareness event Stigma Stomp Day hosted by the Bipolar Disorder Society of BC, Bipolar Babe Project.

The event consists of hosting Victoria�s community in Centennial Square, downtown Victoria on Friday June 14, 2013 from 12-3pm.

We expect see see 500 of you as we did last year!

Together we will celebrate a day free of stigma. Stigma consists of false stereotypes that perpetuate unwarranted fears and discrimination amongst society. Labels such as homelessness, addictions, mental illness, among many others. The day will host inspiritational speakers such as Jamie, a 17 year old girl that lives with bipolar disorder. We will have 20 community partners attend to provide the public with valuable stigma stomping information.

Another awesome component of the day is providing the community with FREE Stigma Stomp t-shirts, which symbolizes unity and acceptance of all people despite the labels that attempt to divide us.

THE FIRST 200 PEOPLE TO ATTEND RECEIVE A FREE T-SHIRT!

Food Truck Vendors will be on site and we have some amazing sponsors for you to meet!
Thank you Wynona from www.feelfreebefree.com for sponsoring the first of the t-shirts. She will be providing rolfing body work on-site by donation to the society!

We will be hosting two DJs to keep the day rollin and 20 community booths to provide you with valuable information!

Thank you to everyone who wants to STOMP OUT STIGMA together helping the world know we are all equal and amazing!
