Empowering Individuals to Live their Best Lives

2025 IN REVIEW - ON TO '26!

Looking back on 2025, we're filled with pride at the vibrant events and activities that brought us closer as a community. In April, our 18th annual auction fundraiser, themed "Spring Break in the Roaring Twenties," brought laughter, bidding excitement, and generous support, helping us advance our mission. Summer shone brightly with
Camp Kidz, where children and young adults from Knox, Warren, and Henderson Counties explored, learned, and formed lasting friendships in a safe, inclusive environment.


The fall brought even more highlights, from the Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting of our new Fremont Street location to our "Howl at the Moon - A Night of Dueling Pianos" fundraiser in November. What about all of the incredible trips our staff and participants took across our great county and beyond? Our Turkey Trot & Turkey
Shot event was a resounding success, filled with fun and teamwork among staff and members of the Gordon Behrents Senior Center. And in December, we had the honor of celebrating our veteran staff members with Quilts
of Valor, a touching tribute to their service that reminded us all of the heroes among us.
