Host Michelle Beck, will be searching out and speaking with those who give back and provide opportunities or goods to those in need . . . just because. Helping others fills your soul. Everyone benefits when goodness is shared. There will be times in life when you give less and need more. If you help someone, they may help someone else and the circle keeps going. Whether it be the sharing of information, time, or physical things, the giver will be richer for it.

Every Body Athletics - Inclusive Exercise for All Abilities
Host Michelle Beck welcomes Brad Franklin, Executive Director of Every Body Athletics.
Every Body Athletics is working to create lasting impact on the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of adults with disabilities through inclusive group exercise.
Brad founded Every Body Athletics in 2017 after seeing the need for services that focus on both the physical and social strengthening of adults with ID/DD. He received his Master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Oregon, and spent five years as a high school teacher before moving on to serve four years as the Director of another nonprofit serving people with disabilities. He has been certified in both Personal Training and Special Populations Personal Training, and considers himself a lifelong learner in the field of exercise. He firmly believes that everybody is an athlete, and that we all win when everybody is included.
Outside of EBA, Brad likes to spend time with his wife and two children, hang out with friends, and root for his teams: the Ducks, Red Sox, and Suns.
For today's "Happy Hour" we are highlighting the Pina Colada, the favorite drink at all-inclusive resorts!
“Disability doesn't mean inability. The more that we are including people with disabilities, the more that we realize this is a mutually beneficial thing." – Brad Franklin, Executive Director, Every Body Athletics.

Project Lemonade - Inspiring Self-Esteem from Kindergarten through College
Host Michelle Beck welcomes Lindsay McDonnell, Executive Director of Project Lemonade, based in Portland, Oregon.
Since 2012, Project Lemonade has provided high-quality services to meet the needs of the foster youth community. Our programming now includes the flagship Project Lemonade Store, internships, programs for teens aging out of care, and funding opportunities that allow youth to pursue their dreams.
Lindsay McDonnell is a passionate nonprofit leader who began her involvement with Project Lemonade as a volunteer in 2016. Lindsay holds a BS in Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia and Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Portland State University. Lindsay is also involved with the foster youth community as a CASA volunteer.
For today's "Happy Hour" we are highlighting lemonade, of course!
“From the beginning, we've really grounded ourselves in meeting the needs and centering foster youth and having a very high quality selection in that these are clothes that anyone in the community would feel comfortable bringing their own child to, that these children are not less than other youth and they deserve the same access to the same things." – Lindsay McDonnell, Executive Director.
