Grateful doesnโ€™t even begin to cover it. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Our Board President Shelby and Chief Development Officer Kelly were honored to present a 2025 Thank You Award to Joe & Larra of Sam's Furniture.

For years, Samโ€™s Furniture has been the presenting sponsor of SOAR NWA, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to uplift individuals with disabilities and invest in the heart of our community. Their generosity, leadership, and genuine love for Northwest Arkansas continue to make a lasting impact.

Thank you, Joe & Larra, for believing in our mission and for being such incredible champions of this community. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ’™ Birthday Bash sponsored by Reynolds Consumer Products & Hefty ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŽ‚

Every dollar given to Open Avenues helps adults with disabilities get to work, build skills, and belong to a community that believes in them. Because of your support, weโ€™re already 57% of the way to our Birthday Bash fundraising goal, and weโ€™re so grateful.

This year, weโ€™re celebrating 51 years of impact, and on February 6 weโ€™ll mark the occasion with a fun Board vs. Staff relay challenge, cheered on by the people at the heart of our mission. Shawnda is already counting down with her birthday board, and we canโ€™t wait to celebrate together. ๐ŸŽˆโœจ

๐ŸŽ‰ Today weโ€™re celebrating Doug and his incredible 23 years at Open Avenues! ๐ŸŽ‰

From early-morning transportation to keeping our operations running strong, Doug supports the journeys that open doors to independence. His dedication ensures our participants feel confident and cared for every mile of the way. ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ’™

Doug, thank you for being a steady, trusted part of our team โ€” and for the countless lives youโ€™ve supported along the way. Weโ€™re so grateful for you!

Open Avenues is celebrating 51 years of impact for adults with disabilities next month โ€” so naturally, we turned it into a Board vs. Staff race to raise $5,100 each!

The challenge wraps with a relay-style race at our 51st Birthday Bash on Feb. 6. We hope both teams hit their goal, but if a team is still chasing it on race day, they may want to start hydrating now ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’จ (Because teams that donโ€™t hit their goal take on extra relay challenges!)

Huge thanks to Reynolds Consumer Products and Hefty for sponsoring our bash and helping us kick off the fun!
