We wanted to kick off summer with a shoutout to this year's 2026 Exceptional Jockey, Ms. Ashley Morgan Mayfield!!!!!

She set the bar extremely high with record breaking fundraising and with that fundraising she brought more awareness to our community about our amazing organization and what we are all about! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Now, a message from our Exceptional Jockey Ashley --

"Thank you all so much for your support and generosity of my jockey campaign! As a mother of a child with special needs, I see firsthand how important an organization like The Exceptional Way is. They provide hope, community, and real opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I’m truly honored to support a mission that means so much to my family and so many others. We are incredibly lucky to have this wonderful organization right here in our community!"

Be sure to mark your calendars for May 1, 2027 for next year’s The Exceptional Derby!!!

Paper Airplane Week! We folded and decorated our own paper airplanes and then flew them to see whose would go the fastest. So fun!

Congratulations to Liza, Cody, and Demarcus for flying their planes the farthest in our Paper Airplane contest!
