πŸŽ‰ Gratitude in the Air! πŸŽ‰

I’m still beaming with joy thinking about an unforgettable moment we shared at ECHO back in June at our staff and client barbeque! 🌞 A huge thank you to *Airborne Energy Solutions* for their incredible generosity – they donated a 30-minute helicopter ride , and our amazing team member Travis was the lucky winner!

On Tuesday, September 30, Travis took to the skies with Tara, one of our awesome ECHO team members who works closely with Travis in our residential support program. And to make it even more special, Travis’s dad Cecil joined them on this thrilling adventure! 🚁 It was pure magic seeing the smiles on their faces – I’m not sure who was more excited, but it was a beautiful thing to witness! 😊

A heartfelt thank you to our skilled pilot who took time out of his day to make this happen – thank you, Owen! πŸ™ And a big shoutout to Shane at Airborne – not only does he contribute his expertise, but he also serves as Vice President on our board.

What I love is how collaboration lets us all give back, and touch lives in meaningful ways. It’s days like these that remind me how special it is to be part of ECHO, and I feel so grateful to lead such an incredible team as Executive Director.

The pictures say it all – take a look and let the smiles and joy speak volumes… Because honestly, sometimes pictures say 1,000 words… and these are ones you won’t want to miss!
