Best Part of the Week!
That describes Chandler's experience with the
Challenger program. So, how does a 6th grader become recognized as a
dedicated volunteer and one that is treasured by many? Chandler has
been a Buddy for the past three years actively involved with
tennis, basketball and many more activities. The athletes often
hear her say, "That was awesome!"
Chandler has a new favorite memory. During the Sports
Complex Dedication, her Buddy wanted to stay in the dugout the whole
time because he'd never been able to get his wheelchair in a dugout
before. It was fun seeing all the kids so happy.
When asked what Chandler would say to others
to encourage them to become involved, this is what she had to say:
"Being a Challenger Volunteer is fun for both the
kids and you. When you are a Buddy you realize how lucky you are to
have the life that you have been given. Once you start helping you
are having just as much fun as the athletes!"
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Chandler for
your time, dedication and bringing such joy to the lives of others. You
are a gem!
