This part of Shindig helped provide 50 children with developmental disabilities 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.
 

  On the night of our 30th Annual Grand Western Shindig, our
  wonderful supporters raised their bidding paddles high to help
  Mission Road meet the $25,000 challenge on the table for the
  evening.  100% of their bid payments will go directly toward funding
  the after-school and summer programming for the children who
  depend on Mission Road.

  Thank You Gordon, Harvey and Penny...
You Make A Great Team!
