Happy 16-year anniversary to Beverly!

As our Office Manager, she keeps things organized, on track, and running smoothly every single day. If there’s a question, she has the answer - and after 16 years, she truly knows all the things.

We appreciate her hard work and long-standing commitment to Open Avenues. 👏💙

What a BLAST last night! 💥🙌

Huge thanks to Razor Pro Wrestling for the incredible matches and nonstop energy — it was so much fun!

And seeing Timmy step into the ring to draw the winners? 🤩 Unforgettable.

We’re so grateful for this amazing partnership and such a special night! 💙

We were honored to attend Dining in the Dark with the Inspiration Foundation last night - a powerful reminder of the importance of accessibility and inclusion. 💛

Today, we joined the roundtable conversation to share about creating meaningful employment opportunities for people of all abilities.

A special highlight was hearing from Brenda - a former participant who is now thriving as a longtime Walmart associate. Stories like hers are why this work matters.

Grateful for partners who are building a more inclusive community alongside us. ✨

Happy 1-Year Anniversary, Everett! 🎉

Big smiles. Deep breaths. Strong stretches. 🧘‍♂️✨

Yoga Friday is a true highlight in our Pre-Voc classroom. Our participants genuinely look forward to these sessions every other week - and the joy on their faces says it all.

More than movement, it builds confidence, calm, and connection.

Thank you, Cathy, for the heart you bring to this space. 💙

Stuffing goody bags is always a favorite… but this one is extra special. 💙

Today we prepped bags for Inspiration Foundation’s Dining in the Dark event - an experience that invites guests to step into the world of visual impairment and see ability in a new way.

We are honored to play a small part in something that builds empathy, awareness, and inclusion in our community.
