I want to take an opportunity to introduce a new non-profit in our local area which is making a difference in the lives of young people. Adrieene Johnson, a regular attender of The Vine Church, is the president for a Bridge 2 Success. Their vision and mission are compelling and it is easy to see why people are getting behind this project.

Message From The President
Bridge2Success is hosting our first ever Serving for Success Tennis Tournament. If you remember the movie The Blind Side, about Michael Oher’s life and the challenges he faced, the Tuohy family felt it was their calling to assist someone less fortunate and lift them up to a better place so that he could succeed in life. Bridge2Success Foundation is following their lead, however we are trying to reach all the children in the community. We believe that every child should have an opportunity to be lifted up and put on a path to success. The first way we do this is by providing scholarships to students who need tutoring but are not able to afford it. We can’t do that without you.
The tennis tournament is one way we can bring the individuals of the community together to socialize, play some tennis and help out our youth.
Sponsorships opportunities are also available. I look forward to seeing you all there!
