 Pickleball Tournament - A Success!



On July 17, 2022, L1H1 held the first pickleball tournament benefiting Fostering New Memories (FNM) initiative. Everyone had a great time and we are so thankful for the 22 participating teams and the spectators cheering the teams on! 

We would like to thank Chicken N Pickle & McBride Orthopedic Hospital for sponsoring the event. Also, thanks to Interurban, Neighborhood Jam, Flix Brewhouse, & Extreme Racquet Sports for donating prizes to the tournament!
And congratulations to our winners!
1st Place - We Tried
2nd Place - Delicate Dainties
​
Best Sportsmanship - PB & J
 At the tournament, we announced the recipient of our next FNM trip! The Ratcliff family just recently finalized the adoption of #11 & #12 and will be going to Great Wolf Lodge in August to celebrate and make new memories together!
Additionally, Anna's House Foundation nominated four families and we will be sending one of the couples (currently fostering seven siblings) on a couples retreat for a much needed respite and time away to recharge!
Mini cupcakes were provided in honor of and to celebrate what would have been Lauren's 30th bday (July 10)!

Thanks to those who joined us for our Celebrate Your Sibling runs!

Love One Another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Romans 12:10 
National Sibling Day is April 10!  We will continue to celebrate the memory of siblings we've lost and those still with us through a virtual run! 

Celebrate Your Siblings 5K is an opportunity to share stories, say names, spend time with family and friends in a beautiful setting and do a little something good for someone else.
 
Watch for more information about our new initiative and run beneficiary: Fostering New Memories! We will be sponsoring a trip to in July for a special foster family as well as a weekend get-away for a family that has recently experienced significant and untimely loss. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for each family to make new memories as they learn to navigate their new reality together. In lieu of a registration fee, please consider a donation to this initiative!
