Our conversation today with Samantha Barber, Founder/President of Reaching Out Now gave us background and history about the inception of her organization. We talked about the work they do in our community and the impact it's having.

Reaching Out Now supports under-resourced youth to be the best version of themselves with preparedness to face the world with hope, purpose, and optimism. It serves students and their families in need of support in the school system through engaged community partners and a volunteer network. Reaching Out Now offers mentoring and community support programs that promote leadership growth and challenge students and families to rise above life’s experiences to become their best selves and provide unique opportunities for all volunteers to give to give back.

Sam gave details for Safe at Home - The Un4gettable Series - Community Day that will happen on May 27, 2023, at Bing Crosby Stadium from 1pm - 5pm. The event will feature three timed exhibition baseball games featuring various athletes from the Warren County baseball community, along with games for children, a 50/50 raffle, and concessions.  Entry to the event is $5 (plus fees) for adults and children 13 and under are free.

This year’s event will be held in memory of Skyline High School students, Harlee Hire and Nathan Jenkins, with proceeds going toward scholarships for athletes from Warren County and Skyline High Schools and the House of Hope.
