It’s Silly Hat or Hair Day! At Trails we always have fun dressing up with items from the tickle trunk. How creative can you get at home?! Take a picture of your silly hat or hair and tag @trailsyouth or email [email protected] to participate!

Your donation of $15 will help Brighten the Trail Ahead this season by giving the Gift of Joy to three Trails participants. Taking the place of our typical in-person event, these Holiday Celebrations in-a-box are being delivered THIS weekend and will show our Trails kids and alumni that their Trails family is thinking of them this holiday season!

Thank you to those who have already helped "Brighten the Trail Ahead" this season. When you give the "Gift of Connection" you are ensuring that 100% of our participants stay connected to their Trails family through Virtual Trails. This is what one mom said about their experience with Virtual Trails this spring: "So happy for Trails for going the extra mile to help keep these guys busy and engaged. From help with school work, to a fitness session with Marlon, to the everyday ...amazing online challenges to the virtual check-in with the group leaders. I knew Trails was supportive but all this extra is way beyond the call of duty thanks to all the directors, staff and volunteers who are making this possible."

Join us next week for a virtual Spirit Week! Have some fun at home while staying connected with your Trails Community! We’ll start Monday with a Dress your Best Day! We can’t wait to see your pictures throughout the week, participate by tagging @trailsyouth or emailing [email protected]

The Night Wolves’s Trails journey began 4 years ago in the playing field. It seems fitting that they’re leaving from the same field to head back to the city after spending the morning up at Trails reuniting with life long friends. #4seasons4years4life #NightWolves #TrailsGrads
