The unsung heroes behind every student: the barn families!

The support systems behind all of our participants are a big part of what make our community feel so special. From celebrating the little wins to cheering from the sidelines, we're grateful for the parents and caregivers that help make our mission all that much more impactful!

This year is the 50th annual Boones Mill Apple Festival and we are so excited to bring back a small version of some of the old days, with a Classic Car Cruise-In on Sept. 12!
This cruise in will be open to anyone and no sign up required.
We hope this will bring back memories for some, start new memories for others, and celebrate 50 years of great fun in Boones Mill!
Stay tuned for more posts about vendors and other such announcements as we count down the days!

Our volunteers are the BEST!
