🐾 Wellness showed up on four paws last Friday.

Voice of the Students hosted “Destress with Dogs” at Brevard Middle School, giving students a chance to relax, reset, and feel supported before EOG testing week.

Voice of the Students is a student-led organization in Transylvania County Schools, supported by SparkPoint, CARE Coalition- Transylvania, and TC Strong. Their work helps lift up student voice, mental wellness, peer support, and real moments of connection.

A heartfelt thank you to Alliance of Therapy Dogs, who brought five volunteers and their amazing dogs to spend time with students. We’re also grateful to the student leaders and Brevard Middle School team who helped make this possible.

Sometimes support is a conversation. Sometimes it’s a quiet pause. And sometimes it’s a therapy dog reminding you to breathe. 🐶

We’re excited to see the NC ROOTS Hub initiative continuing to grow across North Carolina.

At SparkPoint, we believe healthier rural communities are built through connection. Not just healthcare, but the social infrastructure that helps people access food, housing, transportation, support, and belonging.

Proud to be part of this work alongside Impact Health and partners across Western North Carolina. 💙

We’re grateful to WNC Bridge Foundation for hosting today’s WNC Bridge Foundation Grantee Picnic and bringing together so many thoughtful, hardworking organizations from across Western North Carolina.

It was good to spend time with folks who care deeply about this region and are doing the steady, often behind-the-scenes work to support their communities. Conversations like these remind us how much wisdom, generosity, and dedication exist across Western North Carolina, and we left feeling energized by the people we met and the work being done.

We especially appreciated connecting with Bounty & Soul, whose work helps address food insecurity by connecting people with fresh local food, wellness resources, and community support, and Heart of Horse Sense, whose equine-assisted programs create powerful opportunities for healing, growth, and emotional connection.

Western North Carolina is full of people doing deeply compassionate work every day. We’re thankful to be in community with all of you.

What a night. ✨

On Saturday, 14 guests joined us for our sold out Gather & Glow fundraiser. We began with Dr. Ora Wells on the bagpipes, then headed into Pisgah Forest to experience the quiet magic of the Blue Ghost fireflies together.

It was a beautiful evening of wonder, connection, and shared purpose.

Because spaces like this do not just hold community. They help create it.

Congratulations to this year’s Transylvania County recipients of North Carolina’s Governor’s Volunteer Service Award:

Phil Ham
Annette Kilgore
Volunteer Tutors of Augustine Literacy Project-Brevard
Dr. Ora Wells
Alan Wi******er

Last night was a beautiful reminder of how much good work happens in our community because people choose to show up, serve, teach, care, and lead.

At SparkPoint, we are especially proud to celebrate our Board President, Dr. Ora Wells. After more than 40 years serving children and families as a pediatrician, Dr. Wells continues to give his time and wisdom through SparkPoint and through his work supporting young readers with Augustine Literacy Project-Brevard.

His service reflects so much of what we believe: wellness is built through connection, trust, learning, and care.

Congratulations to Dr. Wells and to all of this year’s honorees. Transylvania County is better because of you.
