This part of the Shindig auction helps provide 64 children with mental retardation the programs and services necessary to ensure they reach
their maximum potential, all in a nurturing, family-like environment.
SOAR & MORE encompasses the after-school and summer programming needed to keep our kiddos moving forward down the road to
independence.
We pride ourselves on a wonderful children’s program that not only reaches the children living in our homes, but also touches the lives of dozens of other youth in the community. The Program is called SOAR & MORE. SOAR (Summer Outreach and Recreation) is an invaluable program which keeps the children engaged in arts & crafts, academics, life-skills, recreation, spiritual growth, and community service. The program is so valuable, we added MORE, the after school component that runs during the school year. SOAR & MORE is about teaching our children how to maximize their potential in today’s world, not succumb to their limitations!
We give them the tools to become participators in and contributors to society.
For the kiddos at Mission Road, there is no going to grandma’s house, no family vacations, or sleeping over with friends. The absolute highlight of the summer is camp! A week long adventure gives medically fragile children the experience of a lifetime! The state of Texas does not pay for these enrichment programs which cost $130,000 annually.
This year we are looking for sponsors to issue a $50,000 "Help-A-
Kid SOAR" Challenge to “Help A Kid SOAR.” The challenge will be
matched the night of Shindig (December 4, 2008) by more than 700
generous donors.
On the night of our 29th Annual Grand Western Shindig, get your
bidding paddle ready and raise it high to help Mission Road meet the
$50,000 challenge on the table for the evening. 100% of your bid
payment goes directly toward funding the after-school and summer
programming for the children who depend on Mission Road.

to help meet the $50,000 Help-A-Kid SOAR challenge today!
