Silent Disco: Dancing for Dreams

February 7, 2024

Last Saturday, Ohana hosted a Silent Disco Fundraiser, not merely as an event, but as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the foster children and special needs adults in our care. This fundraiser was more than just a night of dancing— it was a collective effort to ensure that these individuals could experience the magic of winter camp at Lost Canyon.

Attendees came together with a shared purpose—to provide a pathway for these children and adults to partake in the joy and wonder of winter camp. It was a celebration of community spirit and generosity, where every sway and shuffle contributed to a brighter future for those in need.

As the night progressed, the fundraising meter climbed higher, fueled by the collective enthusiasm and support of all who attended. It was a testament to the power of unity and compassion, as individuals set aside their differences to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Attendees had not only danced the night away, but had also paved the way for 200 foster children and special needs adults to embark on an unforgettable winter camp experience.

However, the Silent Disco Fundraiser wasn't just about raising funds—it was about creating opportunities, spreading joy, and making dreams a reality. In a world where the beauty of simple childhood pleasures frequently goes unnoticed, for foster children, these moments are more than just fleeting pleasures—they're rare treasures. The everyday activities we take for granted can hold the allure of magic for them. Winter Camp, with its promise of adventure and camaraderie, becomes a sanctuary where they can revel in the beauty of life's simple pleasures.
