On Tuesday, December 30, 2025 SOAR chose to ring in the new year in style with a spectacular New Year’s Rockin’ Eve Eve celebration. 2025 has been an eventful year for WWVDN and the SOAR program, so it only makes sense to finish the year in an eventful manner.
Participants gathered at the Blue Mountain Community Church around 7:00pm. There were drinks, food, and music. Party hats were available for those of us wanting to dress a bit more festive. Participants sat together and mingled while enjoying some pizza and drinks. Once some time had passed the lights were turned down and everyone was encouraged to hit the dance floor. Participants could also request their own songs throughout the event. The majority of the playlist consisted of “Just Dance” style videos which gave everyone a lead dancer they could imitate. It provided those of us with less dancing experience more confidence to join in on the festivities.
While this was all taking place a photo booth was also being operated in a side room. Participants had the option to take home with them a photo magnet as a souvenir. These photos were free unless the participants wanted to take any additional ones throughout the night. We concluded our event with a final countdown into New Year’s Eve, and when the timer hit zero we let out a cheer that shook the stars. Looking back it’s heartwarming to see the phenomenal impact all of this year's events have had on our community. It was a pleasure to help make so many memories for our participants to cherish, and I’m glad that before the year was over we could help give them one more.
Thank you for another spectacular year. We look forward to creating more memories in 2026!
