It can be difficult to quantify some of the ways in which we set out to change the story of disability, but we know it goes beyond direct programs—it’s about shifting perspectives, equipping churches & communities, and creating lasting impact.
Here’s how we make that happen.

annual event
Every year, we host Night for 99, an event bringing together our community in Northwest Arkansas for a night of connection and celebration. While fundraising is a key component, the event also serves as a reminder of our shared humanity, offering a creative visual experience to share our mission and invite others to join in.

storytelling
We believe that to change the narrative around disability, we must share its true story—a story of hope. Through speaking engagements, documentary-style videos, and content creation, we inspire others to imagine a world where inclusivity is the norm.

Stories of Friendship
At 99 Balloons, our focus goes beyond creating space for people to gather. Through programs like bEfriend, we delve deeper into relationships and what it means to be fully known. In this model of ministry, we initiate one-on-one pairings between people with and without disabilities that grow into lasting, life-changing, authentic friendships.
Ripple Effects of Respite
At Grace Church of the Nazarene in Nashville, TN, retired Army Chaplain and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Brad Lee launched a rEcess site to tangibly love families experiencing disability, something he knows the importance of firsthand through his journey with his son, Kaydan.
A Story From Nicaragua
This year during Spring Break, we had the incredible opportunity to return to Nicaragua; this time, with a brand new team of dedicated UAMS students and a Speech Therapist. Our partner organization had expressed a deep need for this kind of specialized support, and it was a privilege to meet that need in such a meaningful way.
