SOAR Events
It was a GOLDEN night of champions! We had the honor of crowning many new Olympic Gold Medalist’s of the SOAR Olympics at our Olympics R&R! We had several groups come serve with us and so many people shared how blessed they were to serve our amazing families! They all absolutely fell in love with your children and can’t wait for the next event! We all love you and your families and we are so glad we could bless you!
We had 125 individuals with special needs (2 – 54 y/o), 62 siblings and 289 volunteers take part and SMILES EVERYWHERE! Every participant was awarded a Gold Medal for an Olympic sport! Our older siblings had a great evening of swimming at BV Rec! It was awesome seeing all of the smiles on everyone’s face! We had several new SOAR families come for the first time as well as many new volunteers who served for the first time! We heard multiple stories of what a blessing the evening was to you. We loved seeing the smiles on the parent’s faces returning to pick up their kids, and the kids with huge smiles not wanting to go home! All of the pictures will be going on Facebook in the coming days! Please make sure you have shared your pictures with me by Wednesday, Feb 28! We would love to have you “like” our Facebook page and review us.
Our devotional for the evening shared that just like the Olympics, we too are able to be victorious. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says “But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” When we join God’s team, we can celebrate VICTORY through Jesus!
Our next big event is our SOARly Needed R&R on Apr 20, online registration will be next week. The theme will be Wild West!
NEW!!! We sold out this R&R in record time and had an extremely long wait list. Moving forward to make it fair to all families, if you are on the wait list and DO NOT get accepted for the R&R event, you will be given 24 hours of pre-registration for the NEXT R&R prior to the event going live to everyone. This should guarantee you a spot. Also, to help in our processing of registrations, you will now be required to log into your account or create an account to register. This will help make sure that all family members get registered that you are wanting to come.
