Participating survivors' shirts read "we are the courageous, we are the passionate, we are the determined, we are hope," adjectives which became themes of the event.

The Woodbury Bulletin reported event organizer Dave Olson as saying "loved ones have turned purpose since I've been doing this, and that's not going to stop me," referring to the color of the survivors' shirts.
