Join us for the 2nd Annual Butterflies & Blueberries a 5k trail run/walk, lovingly honoring and remembering Amaris Eliana Young.
Enjoy the challenging, yet beautiful trail like course on the Burtons farm where Amaris spent many summers working for the Burtons during blueberry season, planting and picking flowers, practicing driving a standard, her sisters baby shower, fall bonfires & hay rides just to name a few!
A little of Amaris’ story.
Amaris was all set to start school in the fall of 2022 with O.T.C. in their dental hygienist program. Our youth group attended High Point in July of 2022; a youth church retreat partnered with Leaders Academy. It was an amazing week for her and when she came home July 2, 2022, she enthusiastically told us she’d decided to put those plans for O.T.C. on hold. Amaris had been called to attended Leaders Academy in the fall instead. Amaris was incredibly excited to see what God had in store for her on this new adventure.
On July 16, 2022, a car accident forever changed her plans and on July 26,2022, Amaris went to heaven.
To honor Amaris' memory, her family would like to bless another student on their adventure as they are called to Leaders Academy in Hot Springs Arkansas. The goal is to cover tuition and cost of living for a student.
