Friends of Positive Options

04/20/2026

Every year, our community comes together to support the work of Positive Options.💛

Behind every step taken and every dollar raised are real families in our community who receive care, encouragement, and practical support during some of the most uncertain moments of their lives.

✨A young woman who needs someone to listen.
✨A father learning how to step into parenthood.
✨A family finding hope when things feel overwhelming.

When you participate in THRIVE, you help make that support possible.
You help ensure that women, men, students, and families in our community have a place to turn when they need care and compassion.
This is the impact your participation makes.

Something new this year… and it means a lot to us 💛

Thrive is a new community event from Positive Options, happening on May 2 in Holland alongside the Tulip Time Run. It’s a chance to come together, show up for one another, and support individuals and families in a real, tangible way.

You can be part of it by volunteering, or by signing up as a runner or walker (5K or 10K) and fundraising as part of Team Thrive. If you’ve been looking for a simple way to give back or get involved… this is one way to do it.

Volunteers are a big part of what makes events like THRIVE possible.💛✨

Some volunteers choose to fundraise, but it is not required. Simply giving your time and serving during the event already makes a meaningful impact.

Whether someone runs, walks, volunteers, or supports a participant, each person helps strengthen the mission of Positive Options and the care we provide to families in our community.

Sometimes the impact of this work is hard to put into words… until you hear a story like Ana’s.

Ana’s story is personal, honest, and a reminder of why this mission matters. Because behind every number is a real person, a real moment, and a life that can be changed with the right support.

If you’ve ever wondered what your support truly makes possible, this is it.
As we prepare for THRIVE, stories like Ana’s are at the heart of why we come together. It’s more than an event, it’s a chance to be part of something that helps individuals and families move forward with care, truth, and real support.

If you haven’t signed up yet, we’d love for you to join us.

Some conversations require more than good intentions...they require understanding.

Brad Imler brings decades of experience in adoption, counseling, and pro-life leadership. But more than that, adoption is personal to him. He is adopted and the father of two adopted children.

At this training, he will walk through how to approach adoption conversations with honesty, clarity, and care, especially in sensitive situations. If you want to feel more equipped and less unsure, this day is for you.

We know the registration process can feel a little confusing at first, so here’s the reason behind it.👇

The Tulip Time Run is an existing community event that Positive Options is joining this year. That means participants connect to both the Tulip Time event and Team THRIVE. 🌷

Once you create your fundraising page, the confirmation email will guide you through the Tulip Time Run registration so you’re officially part of Team THRIVE.
If you have questions, we’re always happy to help.

When someone participates in THRIVE, they are doing more than joining a run.
They are helping provide real support for people facing unexpected pregnancies and difficult situations.
✨ Pregnancy services.
✨ Parenting education.
✨ Mentoring.
✨ Compassionate care.
Every step and every dollar raised helps make that possible.

Easter is a reminder that even in the hardest moments, hope is never lost.

Because of His resurrection, we are given new life, renewed purpose, and the promise that light can break through even the most uncertain seasons.

At Positive Options, we see this every day.
✨ In the courage of a woman choosing life.
✨ In the strength of a parent taking the next step.
✨ In the quiet moments where fear turns into hope.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” — 1 Peter 1:3

Thank you for being part of this mission and helping bring hope to those who need it most.
