Thank you to everyone who supported our Birdies for Charity fundraiser! We appreciate your generous donations, pledges, and volunteer hours. With your help, ARCH reached its goal and even received Bonus Bucks from Thunderbirds Charities. We hope to see you all again next year!

Special Olympics:

This year we competed in Special Olympics Basketball in both the Unified and Traditional Tournaments. Thank you to all of our coaches and players who play hard and work hard! A big congratulations to ARCH's Unified team for winning first place in the local division! GO ARCH!

STEPS to Health and Wellness

Our STEPS to Health and Wellness Co-Coordinators, Abraham and Sam, kicked off the new year with a fun Winter Fitness Challenge! Participants were challenged to participate in at least 3 fitness classes (cardio, weight room training, zumba, etc.) throughout the week to make their way up the stairway. Winners of the challenge were rewarded with a special outing and ice cream! A special thank you to Abraham and Sam who not only run the fitness programming but also coordinated this fitness initiative!
