We did it.
Two weeks ago, Active+ loaded up four buses with over 100 young people and headed to the Spartan Race at Citi Field, and what happened next was nothing short of extraordinary.
These kids showed up. They pushed through every obstacle, every challenge, every moment that tested them — and they came out the other side with something that can't be taught in a classroom: the belief that they can.
None of this happens without YOU. Every donation, every share, every word of encouragement, that's what put those kids on those buses. That's what covered the food, the drinks, the snacks, the transportation. At Active+, every experience we give these young people comes at zero cost to them. That's the promise. That's the mission.
We want to shout out some incredible people who made this possible:
💙 Dr. Brian Bereman — your commitment, tireless effort, and personal investment in our young people and Active Plus were instrumental in bringing this event to life. We are deeply grateful for everything you poured into this. Thank you, Doc. 🙏🏽
💙 The Law Office of Peri B. Edelman — we are beyond grateful for your belief in our kids and our mission. You are a blessing to Team Active Plus.
💙 Every volunteer, every teacher, every hand that helped — you showed up, and these kids felt it.
💙 Our phenomenal Board Members and our amazing founder — the best in the business. Period.
We operate on a tight budget and a whole lot of heart. Every dollar stretches because it has to — and because these kids deserve everything we can give them.
If you want to be part of what comes next, we'd love to have you on the team. Drop a comment, DM me, share this post, or head to the link below. Every little bit changes a life.

A hand up, not a handout. Always. ❤️
