A Night to Remember at the Eric Church Concert! 🤩🎶

Some of our amazing ATOU volunteers had the chance to enjoy an unforgettable evening at the Eric Church concert last Thursday at Golden 1 Center — thanks to the generosity of the Office of the City Clerk, City of Sacramento! 💛🙌

A huge shout-out to Tina Harris, Kelli Dever, Mary Herdegen, and Olivia Schweitzer, who attended with their friends and family and represented ATOU with smiles, joy, and plenty of country spirit! 🤠🎵

Moments like these remind us how important it is to celebrate the incredible people who pour their hearts into our mission every day. We’re grateful for opportunities that bring our ATOU family together — both in service and in fun!

Thank you to the City of Sacramento for creating such a special night for our volunteers! 💙✨

*Carpool Conversations: Meet Tukey Seagraves*
When life took an unexpected turn in July of 1988, Tukey Seagraves was faced with a diagnosis that changed everything — Multiple Sclerosis (MS). What followed was a journey of courage, faith, and an unwavering decision to choose joy.
Tukey’s story is one of incredible resilience. After losing the use of her legs, she fought her way back — supported by family, friends, and a very positive neurologist. Just six months later, she accomplished something extraordinary: hiking to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.
Today, Tukey brings that same spirit to A Touch of Understanding, inspiring students to see beyond disabilities and recognize the power of positivity and perseverance.
As she says, “ATOU is all about joy in the midst of living with a disability of any kind.”
*Watch our Carpool Conversation with Tukey and be inspired by her story of strength, laughter, and choosing joy every single day.

Volunteer Spotlight: Jennifer Dendall 🌟
Meet Jennifer Dendall — a retired 4th grade teacher whose passion for education and inclusion continues to shine through her volunteer work with A Touch of Understanding (ATOU).
For 35 years, Jennifer inspired young minds in the classroom — more than 20 of those years at Cobblestone Elementary in the Rocklin Unified School District. During that time, Jennifer saw firsthand the lasting impact of ATOU’s Disability Awareness Workshops on her students.
“A Touch of Understanding is one of the most powerful programs I have ever experienced,” she shares.
Each year, she eagerly welcomed ATOU into her classroom — not as a one-day event, but as a foundation for continued learning. Jennifer wove the lessons of empathy, kindness, and respect into her daily curriculum, helping her students carry those values far beyond the classroom walls.
Now retired, Jennifer has joined ATOU as a volunteer, bringing her unique perspective from both sides of the experience. She loves learning each station, assisting students as they explore what it means to “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes,” and sharing in those moments of understanding that spark lifelong change.
We’re so grateful to have Jennifer on our team — continuing to make a difference, one workshop at a time. 💙
