Arc of the Bay is doing incredible work, teaching life and job skills, helping over 400 individuals become more independent, and now expanding into residential housing to teach everyday living in a supportive environment.

They’ve been making a difference in Bay County for 68 years and they’ve made a difference in my family, too. My brother is one of the many people with unique abilities who has benefited from programs like theirs.

This is the kind of community we should be building more of: inclusive, forward-thinking, and rooted in care. As someone who believes in practical solutions and people-first leadership, I’m proud to support organizations like this—and I hope you’ll take a moment to learn more about them.

Last night’s Impact After Hours was a wonderful reminder of the power of collective giving and community connection. ✨

We were honored to hear from our 2025 Grant Winner, The Arc of The Bay / St. Andrew Bay Center, as Executive Director Ron Sharpe shared how Impact 100’s investment is helping further their mission and create meaningful opportunities for the individuals and families they serve. Hearing firsthand about the impact our members have made together is what Impact 100 is all about.

A special thank you to Lacy Branch Counts and Stephen Counts for graciously hosting us at The Yard Bar & Grille in Historic Downtown Panama City and creating the perfect setting for an evening of fellowship, inspiration, and celebration.

In the workshop at Upcycle Unicorn, marine canvas that once protected boats and weathered the sea is given new life through thoughtful design and craftsmanship.

Leftover fabric remnants—once set aside not for lack of quality, but because they no longer fit their original purpose—are reimagined into useful, handcrafted items. In this way, both materials and meaning are renewed through a second chance. Through an on-the-job training partnership with The Arc of the Bay, Alexis has been part of this environment. With appropriate supports, Alexis has participated in daily tasks, contributed to the workflow, and engaged in learning new skills within the workplace.

Just as repurposed fabric reveals unexpected value, Alexis’s involvement reflects a simple truth: contributions grow over time when there is opportunity, inclusion, and the chance to participate.

At Upcycle Unicorn, In this shared space of learning and production, Alexis is a valued participant in a process built on respect, development, and inclusion.
We here at Arc of the Bay would like to thank Upcycle Unicorn for your continued partnership, and to our entire community for your unwavering support and investment in our clients and our employment program. We couldn’t provide these services without you.

If you’re interested in hiring one of our amazing, talented clients, please contact Davenie at 850-896-1792 or Lynda at 850-625-0512.💙
