The Amazing Race and 'Summer of Hope' Dinner Banquet

8Jan, 2017

The Amazing Race and “Summer of Hope” Banquet

Join us for a fun and festive kick-off to our ‘Summer of Hope’ initiatives!

Whether you choose to participate in both the Amazing Race scavenger hunt and the dinner banquet, or just come for the dinner banquet, your involvement will empower the lives of vulnerable children this summer.

Proceeds from this event support our flagship adventure camp for at-risk kids, various summer programs for underprivileged youth, and Breakaway sports camps. Most significantly, your involvement will help us to impact the lives of more young people like Antwon (hear his ‘Breakaway’ story in this video).

Festivities will begin with a city-wide “Amazing Race” event (scavenger hunt), then conclude with a dinner celebration featuring awards, Breakaway testimonies, and a ‘Summer of Hope’ preview.

“A wonderful ministry that serves children here and abroad. I first met the founder, Jimmy Larche, when he came to visit my church during mission conference. Since then I have served at Breakaway’s summer camp for trauma-impacted kids, as well as the sports in ministry in Dominican Republic. Jimmy has a powerful testimony that drives him to reach out with the love of God to kids who are struggling like he once was.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Breakaway Outreach. My biological father was always incarcerated and I was sent into foster care. I started camp as a tiny little camper and now I get to serve as camp nurse! I graduated from Lee University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and I am currently working as a Nursery and Postpartum Nurse. Breakaway Outreach is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an outreach of family and community that all come together because we truly care about God’s children.”

“This camp has been wonderful. You have helped me to find Jesus, the Lord. I have let Jesus into my heart. You have so many amazing people here and you have given me so much hope. God has given us all a chance to know and love each other. Thank you so much.”

“Before the first year at camp, it was the lowest part of my life. I had lost my mother and sister in a tragic car wreck. I was being bullied at school and was planning to commit suicide when I received an invitation with a scholarship to attend Breakaway camp. I decided to put off the suicide plan and attend camp. It was the best decision I ever made. I gave my life to Jesus at camp and then Breakaway helped me get involved with a local church. My life still has ups and downs but I know now that God has me no matter what.”
