Wow! A big shout-out to Greg Bohannan for his outstanding leadership at the Pringles Youth Fishing Academy last weekend. Over 100 budding fishing aficionados participated! Greg wasn't just an organizer; his tireless efforts, along with his team, succeeded in raising $8,000 to support the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter and the Children & Family Advocacy Center. A hearty thank you to all the sponsors who injected life into this event, playing a pivotal part in molding 100 future fishing pros.

Bazooka Bistro is back! This time, the Bazooka Candy Brands team worked with our kids to make their own personal pizzas. Projects like this, that teach our teens the basics of cooking, are incredibly valuable. Thank you to Bazooka Candy for investing so much time and care to teach our kids such important life skills. We can’t wait for the next Bazooka Bistro!

Former Arkansas Razorback and current Orlando Magic guard, Anthony Black, was in town last week to support our annual Kickball for the Kids tournament. During his brief visit, he made it a priority to spend time with our kids and teens at the Shelter. He talked with them about his own successes and challenges in school, his path to college and what it's like to play in the NBA. Anthony concluded the day with some hoops with the kids in our gym - leaving them with a day they will always remember. Thank you to Anthony and his team for their continued support of the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter! National Basketball Association (NBA) University of Arkansas

As part of our continuous Life 101 initiative, we hosted representatives from Robert Half, aiming to prepare our teens to make the transition into the professional world. The session focused on advice for succeeding in their first job interviews. The team from Robert Half provided essential guidance on various aspects, including proper attire, how to greet the interviewer, and crucial questions to ask. Our ultimate goal? To provide the teens in our care with the tools they need to truly excel in their first job. #RobertHalf #volunteering #volunteersmakeadifference #jobinterviewtips
