Friends of Soar,
After much careful consideration and heartfelt conversation, the board has come to the realization that it is time to end our operations. This decision has been difficult but necessary. Like many small nonprofits, we were never able to fully recover from the lasting effects of a global pandemic. The board has worked diligently on outreach and recruitment in the years since in effort to rebuild. However, our efforts are no longer fruitful or sustainable.
To the members who returned post-pandemic and those who have joined since (small in number but mighty in spirit), thank you doesn't adequately convey our appreciation for the heart and joy you brought to rehearsals.
To everyone who supported Soar over the years, the audiences, individuals, businesses, and organizations who offered their generous donations, you made a difference - often in ways you'll never fully know - and we thank you.
We have read studies that even one adult can make an impact in a kid's life. Individually and collectively, we have done exactly that. Just as ripples last on the surface of water long after the cause of those ripples has disappeared, I know that the legacy of Soar will continue to be felt and seen in the lives and people we touched and those who touched us. I truly believe that anyone who has ever been involved in Soar is better for it.
While we are sad to be sharing this news and while Soar will be missed deeply, we celebrate all that has been and the impact Soar has made.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Stephanie, Emily, and Tina
