More Than a Festival
SOAR NWA is more than a weekend of balloons and family fun.
It is the largest annual fundraiser for Open Avenues, a nonprofit in Northwest Arkansas dedicated to empowering adults with disabilities through employment, training, and community inclusion.
When you attend SOAR, sponsor the event, or volunteer your time, you are helping create opportunities for individuals in our community to work, grow, and live with purpose.
The People Behind the Mission
For more than 50 years, Open Avenues has helped adults with disabilities build meaningful lives through programs such as:
• Vocational Training Center
• Pre-Vocational Classroom
• Community Employment
• High School Transition
• Transportation Services
Your support of SOAR helps make these opportunities possible.
