Logan B. is another one of CARE’s clients who has been competing since he was young. Starting at just 8 years old, Logan has taken home both the gold and silver medals in Track & Field events such as T-Ball, Basketball, and Running in years past. This year he stepped away from his favorites and on to something new as he competed in the 400-meter, 200-meter, and the 4-by-100 relay. With his CARE family there to cheer him on the entire way, Logan continues to make us proud each year.
Another one of CARE’s beloved clients, Shannon C., participated in this year’s summer games. Shannon first began competing in bowling and has progressively worked her way toward other areas of the competition. This year, she competed in the 25-Meter Dash and the Softball Throw. At the end of the race, she was met by smiles and high fives from her family and all of her favorite CARE employees.
