As we reflect on 2024, we are overwhelmed with gratitude
for the incredible growth and impact Lift Disability Network has experienced. This year, we reached more families than ever before, expanding our community and deepening our connections with both long-time participants and new friends. Along the way, we also forged meaningful partnerships that have strengthened our ability to serve and uplift those with disabilities and their families.

One of the most memorable moments of the year was our
Monster Mash Costume Dance Party—a beloved tradition
that has brought joy to so many over the years. However, this year, we faced a challenge: we needed a new home for the event. That’s when The Church at the Cross stepped up in a remarkable way, not only opening their doors to us but also providing an incredible team of volunteers who made the night truly special.

The impact of this partnership was immediate and powerful. Many new families joined us for the first time, and their excitement and joy were evident throughout the evening. For one family in particular, the experience was life-changing. They felt so welcomed and connected at Monster Mash that they decided to begin attending The Church at the Cross regularly. Over the past few months, they have become increasingly involved in the church community, and recently, the mother made the decision to be baptized—who would have thought a silly event could make such an impact!

Stories like these are why we do what we do. 2024 has been a year of transformation, not just for those we serve, but for the entire Lift family. As we look ahead, we are excited to continue growing, reaching more families, and fostering even deeper partnerships that create lasting impact.
