Arctoberfest has never tasted so sweet!!!

What’s an Arctoberfest celebration without a good old-fashioned CAKE WALK?!

Our Arctoberfest Cake Walk is always a fun part of the festivities, and we need your help making it happen!

We’re looking for donations of cakes, cupcakes, and other sweet treats to help us fill our cake walk with delicious prizes. Whether you’re a talented baker or prefer to let your favorite bakery do the work, we’d love your help!

Cake donations should be delivered to The Arc office by Friday, October 23, at 11:30 a.m.

Every donated cake helps make Arctoberfest a little sweeter for the people we serve and our community!

Thank you for helping us make this year’s celebration something special! ❤️

We have a graduate to celebrate!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate AmmA MachellE who recently earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus in Applied Behavior Analysis from Purdue University Global!

Earning a degree while working and managing all the other demands of life takes determination, commitment, and a whole lot of hard work! This is an accomplishment worth celebrating!

We’re fortunate to have Amma as part of our Arc family, and we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes them.

Help us keep rolling!!!! Our Rolling Thunder Bowling Team is growing and we couldn't be more excited!!!! We now have 49 bowlers on the team and somehow we just keep adding more!!! Woohooo!

We want to make sure every one of our bowlers has a team shirt to wear! Shirts are $20 each and we've already raised $582. That means we're just $418 away from outfitting the whole team! Will you help us get there? https://secure.everyaction.com/TvZwuFv_nUqeBA5827b5mQ2
