Right now, 81 North Street doesn't have a sign.

Many teens know where it is. But the families who might send their kids, the community members who might refer a young person, and the donors who might invest will likely drive right past it, because right now, it still looks like the old Clark Eye Center.

Visible signage at our Geneva location is an affordable investment that tells our youth: this place is here, and it's for you.

It's the smallest piece of our campaign goal but an impactful one.

🏈🔥 BATTLE OF THE GENERATIONS: ROUND 1 IS IN THE BOOKS! 🔥🏈

Saturday we hosted our FIRST Battle of the Generations Flag Football Tournament! We ran into a few hiccups that had us combining teams AND taking the game to the basketball court—but that didn’t stop us from having an EPIC OLD SCHOOL vs. NEW SCHOOL showdown! 😂💪🏾

👶🏾 NEW SCHOOL: Gen Z + Millennials
🆚
👴🏾 OLD SCHOOL: Gen X + Boomers

And NEW SCHOOL took the win by THREE TOUCHDOWN! 🏆😮‍💨

Which means… WE NEED A REMATCH BEFORE THE END OF SUMMER! 👀🔥

The next game will be announced by the end of the week! If you’re interested in playing, REACH OUT and get on the roster!

Old School… y’all coming back for revenge or what?! 😂🏈🔥

🎉 AND THAT’S A WRAP ON SUMMER ENRICHMENT 2026!!! 🎉

Last week, we officially ended our Summer Enrichment Program, in partnership with EPIC Zone – Ontario Cares Youth Clubhouse, with some MUCH NEEDED COMMUNITY SERVICE! 💪🏾💙

Because what better way to say THANK YOU than to give back to the same community that helped make this entire summer possible?! 🥹
Our teens got to WORK! 👏🏾

🎒 We prepped, sorted, and organized donations for our upcoming Back-to-School Banger!

🧼 We rolled up our sleeves and cleaned windows and the entryway at Marilla’s Mindful Supplies!

🌻 And we headed to Cornell AgriTech, where we got a hands-on lesson in environmental science while collecting, packaging, labeling, and sealing wildflower seeds!

And after 8 WEEKS of learning, creating, exploring, building relationships, trying new things, giving back, and making memories...
WE CELEBRATED!!! 🎢🎡🥳

We loaded up on a BIG Fitzgerald Brothers tour bus 🚌 and headed to SIX FLAGS DARIEN LAKE for our end-of-summer celebration!!!
And trust me… WE HAD A LOT TO CELEBRATE! ❤️

It has truly been an honor to provide the teens of Geneva with opportunities to not only work and learn, but to have FUN, experience new things, discover new interests, and explore the ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES this community and the world around them have to offer.

This summer was about exposure. It was about showing our young people that there is SO MUCH out there for them to experience, become, create, and accomplish.

To every community partner, organization, parent, staff member, donor, volunteer, and supporter who helped us make Summer Enrichment 2026 a reality…

THANK YOU!!! 🫶🏾

And to our teens — we hope you walk away from this summer knowing one thing:
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. KEEP EXPLORING. KEEP DREAMING. AND KEEP GOING! 💙🌎✨

FLX U & EPIC Zone have officially made it to the END of Summer 2026🥰💜 LET THE FUN BEGIN!!

Mark your calendar: This Sunday, four generations are throwing down on the flag football field. 🏈

Gen Z vs. Millennials vs. Gen X vs. Boomers, all co-ed, all in it for bragging rights and a great cause. A few familiar faces from EPIC Zone Geneva and FLX Unity Center are suiting up to play, so come cheer them on.

Register as a participant or come cheer from the sidelines.

FLX Unity Center and $driving Records present an epic co-ed flag football showdown—four generations, one field, and bragging rights on the line.

At EPIC Zone Geneva, our teens often head outside to play. It gives them a chance to move their bodies, engage in some friendly competition, and connect

But the space they're playing on needs work. A real blacktop and a privacy fence would make it safe, functional, and private.

The basketball court at 81 North isn't just about basketball. It's about physical health, fresh air, and the friendships that form when you're on the same team.

We're asking you to help us build it.

THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN!

Yesterday, we officially kicked off our FINAL WEEK of Summer Enrichment: COMMUNITY CAMP! ❤️🌎

We started the week by sorting, organizing, and prepping all of the AMAZING donations that have been dropped off by our incredible community members for our Back-to-School Banger, happening Sunday, September 6th from 3–6 PM! 🎒✏️👕💈

After spending the summer exploring everything from fine arts and culinary arts to sailing, mindfulness, performing arts, and more, we're ending our summer exactly how we should; GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT CONTINUES TO POUR INTO US! 🫶🏾

This week, our young people will be getting out into Geneva, serving others, lending a hand, and learning that community isn't just where you live; it's something you help build. 💪🏾❤️

One final week. One final adventure. And a whole lot of COMMUNITY & UN!TY! 🥹

COMMUNITY CAMP, LET'S GOOOOO! 🙌🏾

🎭✨ AND THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN! ✨🎭

We have officially wrapped up Week 7 of Summer Enrichment: CENTER STAGE CAMP! 🥹👏🏾 And what a way to end the week!

Last night, we had the opportunity to take our members, whom had never seen a live musical before, to see Theatre444 ’s production of DOGFIGHT! 🎶🎭

Dogfight follows a group of young Marines in 1963 on the eve of their deployment to Vietnam. What begins as a cruel competition turns into an unexpected story about kindness, connection, love, and seeing people beyond the surface.

And let me tell you… our members had NOTHING but great things to say! 😂❤️

🗣️ “I didn’t think I was going to like it, but that was REALLY good!”

🗣️ “Ms. Allauna, when is the next show?! We gotta come to ALL of these!”

And lastly…

🗣️ “We NEEEEED that picture with Rose!” 😂😂😂

I was BEYOND proud! 🥹

If you’ve ever worked with Geneva teens, then you already know; they are some of the MOST HONEST people on the planet! 😂 So for them to walk away this excited, talking about the characters, wanting pictures, and already asking when they can see another show says EVERYTHING.

The cast and production team of Theatre444 put on an AMAZING show! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for giving our members an experience that opened the door to something new. This is exactly why exposure to the arts matters. You never know what experience will spark a new interest, passion, or dream in a young person. ❤️

And now… ONE WEEK LEFT OF SUMMER ENRICHMENT! 😭☀️ The countdown has officially begun!

If you haven’t gotten your tickets to DOGFIGHT yet, GO GET THEM! 🎟️ The show runs August 21–29!

🎭❤️ Support local theatre. Support the arts. Expose our youth to NEW experiences!
