Their desire to be involved with the intellectually and physically disabled community transpired from the love of their Daughter and Sister, Faith Boone. Faith was born with Down Syndrome and passed away at a very young age of 3 from complications due to a heart defect. Faith's impact on the Boone's entire family was immediate and profound.
The Boone’s started volunteering with Best Buddies. They enjoyed mentoring and received great pleasure when their buddies would achieve their goals. The Boone's also learned valuable lessons in compassion, empathy, and determination.
The Boone’s realized social events for adults with intellectual and physical disabilities are lacking and Great Vibes Events was created to provide fun social events for the adult community. Great Vibe Events offers a safe place for adults aged 18 and older to gather, learn, exchange ideas, acquire new skills and participate in fun social activities.
