5th Annual Vans4Tristan Event
Join Us for Our 5th Annual Event in New Bern!
We are thrilled to invite you to our eagerly-awaited 5th annual event in New Bern! This year, we are coming together to celebrate the incredible life of Tristan, while also giving back to the community in his honor. This event promises to be a day filled with love, remembrance, and the spirit of generosity.
Celebration of a Remarkable Life
Tristan's impact on our lives is immeasurable, and this event aims to commemorate his memory in a way that reflects his vibrant and adventurous spirit. We invite you to join us as we celebrate the joy Tristan brought into the world, the memories we cherish, and the legacy he leaves behind.
Giving Back to the Community
In honor of Tristan's profound love of shoes and his passion for helping others, we are organizing a shoe drive during the event. We kindly request that each attendee bring a pair of shoes to donate. These donations will go towards supporting local youth and Veterans in the community. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
Flash Art Tattoos
To make this event even more special, we are excited to offer flash art tattoos! Our talented tattoo artists will be present to create stunning designs that perfectly capture the essence of Tristan's spirit. As a token of our gratitude for your contribution to the shoe drive, you will have the opportunity to receive a flash art tattoo during the event in exchange for a donated pair of shoes. It's a unique way to remember this special day and honor Tristan in a lasting and personal way.
Save the Date!
We can't wait to see you at our 5th annual event on December 2nd, 2023 11am -7pm in New Bern. Help us make this day one that truly reflects Tristan's zest for life and his dedication to helping others. Let's come together as a community, celebrate his amazing life, donate shoes to those in need, and honor him through the art of flash tattoos.
We appreciate your continued support, and we look forward to experiencing this incredible day with you!
Remember, together we can make a difference, one pair of shoes at a time!
Wear Your Vans Day - Tristan Day
December 7th is a day in which we wear our Vans in order to honor our late son, Tristan Velez.
Please join us by wearing a pair of your vans and if you feel up to it drop a photo on social media with the #vans4tristan. Share a memory or a story and more importantly reach out to your friends that day. Sometimes just having someone reach out to you or to remind you that you are seen and matter can make all the difference.
