1st Annual Christmas in July Fundraiser Benefitting
Carve Your Own Path

Proudly empowering individuals, businesses, and the community with skills and resources to thrive in wellness.

Carve Your Own Path, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization incorporated in November 2018 by Founder & Executive Director Amanda Kostura, LISW-S, in response to lacking availability of inclusive and individualized education and wellness services available in the community. 

Our Mission

Carve Your Own Path offers an evidence-based, trauma-informed, inclusive, community approach to mental health and well-being through holistic wellness services, education, and consultation services.

Our talented team is committed to continuous learning, education, and growth to ensure we are providing the most effective and beneficial services to those we serve.

YOU’RE INVITED TO CHRISTMAS IN JULY:

Escape the summer heat and step into the cool, creative galleries of Summit ArtSpace for an afternoon dedicated to joy and community reinvestment. This isn’t just a market—it’s a curated experience. Enjoy light bites and refreshments (1 drink tickets included with admission!) while you browse our "Shop Local" market featuring incredible LGBTQ+ vendors and makers.

The afternoon will be filled with energy, featuring Queer Trivia with exciting prizes, a high-stakes 50/50 raffle, and a silent auction filled with local treasures.
