Smiling faces. Enthusiastic cheering. And post-game hugs! Adult Day Support participants and staff had a great time watching the VCU Volleyball team play at the Siegel Center in September.

“It was especially thrilling to see the players and coaching staff interact with our participants after the game,” says Vandal Truong, Director of Adult Day Support and Youth Services. That’s important to VCU Volleyball Coach, Tim Doyle, too. “We want you to feel like VCU Volleyball is SOAR365’s team!”

VCU Volleyball players also came to SOAR365 to play games, work on puzzles, dance, and create holiday arts and crafts with our participants.

Our partnership with VCU Athletics was spearheaded by Rohana Meade, SOAR365 Board Member and President & CEO of Synergy Technical. She wanted VCU athletes to “realize the impact they can have on somebody just by showing up.”

“When we bring athletes from VCU to organizations like SOAR365, we bring joy,” says Rohana.

You can join in the fun, too! Visit our website to see where we need your help the most. We make it easy to sign up and show up.
