WARRIOR BLITZ 2020 FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES By Debbie Baer, Executive Assistant to the Head of School/Advancement

FFor the sixth year, Little Rock Christian Academy has been blessed by Warrior Blitz. What an amazing time in Warriorville. The campus was full of energy, enthusiasm and excitement. A goal for the week was set at $150,000. LRCA families and friends generously reached deeply and gave $168,901. Thanks be to God for His provision! The focus of this year’s week long event was Families Helping Families. 100% of the money raised was used to advance the education of Warrior students. These funds fuel LRCA to continue to equip young people with an excellent college-preparatory education that is characterized by truth from a Christ-centered worldview. In conjunction with the week, everyone zeroed in on Acts of Kindness and Service projects. The student body really stepped up and challenged each other to serve others. Students served others by writing letters to local pastors, sending colored pictures to our firefighters and police officers, and collecting food for the North Little Rock School District food pantry. Several students painted rocks to be placed around campus reminding us of our blessings. The highlight was seeing your children’s faces as they were doing Acts of Kindness and Service projects for others.

Their joy was contagious!

Because of corporate sponsors who generously partnered with us, the cost of ALL of the events during Blitz week were covered. Pediatrics Plus has been the Warrior Blitz presenting sponsor for all six years. Additionally, Thrivent Financial and Northshore Golf Range contributed to the week of fun.

Blitz Chairperson Megan Garrison, along with PTF President Stacey Knoernschild and PTF President-elect Suzanne Waters, led the team with such deep passion and love for LRCA.
