5th Annual Make an Impact Golf-a-thon Teeing Off Soon!

                      We are so excited to partner with River Run Country Club again for the Make an Impact Golf-a-thon Presented by Novant Health.  This year's event is August 30th and our fifth time doing a not so typical golf event.  We bring  members of the community together to see how many holes of golf they can play, while raising funds to impact the lives of local children.  We host this golf event similar to a walk or run a thon where golfers go out to their friends and neighbors and raise pledges per hole then try to play as many holes as possible, in turn raising as much money as possible.  Our goal this year is to raise $35,000 which will go a long way in helping children in North Carolina in need.  For more information visit our event site.

Strengthening Children…One Playground at a Time

There are many valid reasons to build a playground especially in today’s times.  Let us give you just two reasons:   1) to give children of all races, creeds, and colors a safe place to play together and 2) to build community through education and inclusion instead of tearing them down with barriers and restrictions.  This playground could become a place of healing and remembrance. A safe place to play is pretty self-explanatory but facts and studies show children (pre-COVID) spent 7 hours plus per day in front of a screen.  But only 5% of children age 6-17 got 60 minutes of play a day, which is the federally recommended amount of exercise per day a child should get.  Add to that doctors and psychologists alike, say children need free play to strengthen their physical, mental, and emotional capacities.  A playground provides a solution to these problems, giving children somewhere to [...]

Camp EDvantage in the Lake Norman area!

Camp EDvantage was a free camp for kids in the Lake Norman area who didn’t have the required technology or a safe environment to participate in required virtual learning for school.  Camp was held Monday - Thursday from 8:30a - 1p at First Baptist Church Cornelius. With the help of Choplins and Angels & Sparrows we were able to provide food and snacks to all students while they attended camp.  We saw over 50 kids from multiple schools and grades across the Lake Norman area from August to December.  We couldn't have successfully completed camp without the church allowing us to use the space and the many volunteers who dedicated their time to making an impact in the lives of these local children.  Thank you to EDU Healthcare and the local donors who helped financially make this camp a reality.  Here's to making an impact during a pandemic.
