🎉 Happy 73rd Birthday, Gene! 🎉

Gene spent the weekend celebrating his 73rd birthday at Longview Lake surrounded by friends, family, and lots of smiles.

A special highlight of the day was getting out on the water for some fishing and a boat ride thanks to Tyler, one of our incredible volunteers in CDD's Befriending Program. Tyler helped make the day extra memorable by sharing his time and creating an experience Gene won't soon forget.

Thank you, Tyler, for making such a positive impact, and happy birthday, Gene! 🎂🎣🚤💙

☀️😎 What a day! Our PALS U Summer Fun Day was packed with laughter, music, food, and plenty of summer fun!

Individuals from both PALS KC and PALS Blue Springs came together to enjoy yard games, karaoke, tie-dye, and time with friends. There were some serious karaoke stars in the crowd and lots of colorful creations at the tie-dye station!

A big shoutout to 2 Guys and a Grill for serving up delicious hamburgers, while our individuals made side dishes to complete the feast.

Today, we celebrated a very special milestone at the Rainbow School as we honored our 3 graduating students! 🎓🌈

For two of our graduates, this moment was especially meaningful as they have been part of the Rainbow School family since preschool. Watching them grow, learn, and achieve so much over the years has been incredible.

One of the most touching moments of the day was their legacy walk through the school halls — surrounded by cheering staff, classmates, and memories from the place they’ve called home for so many years. 💙

We are so proud of each of our graduates and cannot wait to see all the amazing things ahead for them.

Congratulations, graduates! 🎉
