What a Day.

Our 3rd Annual Back 2 School Giveaway was our biggest one yet, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Because of the incredible support from our community, more than 60 students left with school supplies, hygiene products, clothing, shoes, and smiles as they prepare for a brand-new school year. Seeing families come together and knowing we were able to help ease the burden of back-to-school shopping is exactly why we do what we do.

A special thank you to the Ripley Main Street Association for allowing us to use such a wonderful space to serve our community. Your generosity and partnership helped make this event possible.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to every individual, business, church, and organization that donated, sponsored, volunteered, partnered with us or contributed in any way. Whether you gave financially, donated supplies, shared our posts, or simply showed up to support, this event was successful because of you.

Here’s to an amazing school year! 💜📚

🫧🏀 “SUDS & SERVICE” CAR WASH FUNDRAISER 🏀🫧

A little late, but the gratitude is still just as real!!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported our recent car wash fundraiser benefiting the Ripley Middle & High School Boys Basketball programs!

Because of your generosity, support, and willingness to pour back into our youth, we were able to raise funds that will help support them.

From every donation to every vehicle washed, every share, every honk, and every encouraging word — we appreciate it all more than you know. Special thanks to all of the players, volunteers, parents, coaches, and community members who showed up ready to work and support the vision.

This was bigger than a car wash. It was the community coming together to invest in the future of Ripley hoops and the young men behind the jerseys.

We are grateful for the continued love and support shown to our athletes and our community initiatives. The future is bright! ✨
