Courageous COVID-19 Response:

As you know all too well, the COVID-19 pandemic has ushered us all into a time of uncertainty and new challenges. In this era of working together while staying apart, we are more than ever thinking of you and our extended Courageous community. While we, just like everybody else, can’t predict the future or provide firm answers, we do want to update you about how COVID-19 is affecting Courageous. We are hard at work planning for every eventuality, keeping the needs and health of our community in mind, and will keep you updated. We will continue to adhere to the most up-to-date recommendations and directives provided by the CDC and by local, state, and national government, and we thank you for your patience in this time of uncertainty.
