The final High Impact Board honoree is BIO Girls! Founded in 2013, BIO Girls is dedicated to empowering adolescent girls to build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth. Through a thoughtful blend of mentorship, physical activity, and a structured curriculum, the program addresses the very real challenges of anxiety, depression, and self-esteem facing young girls today.
Serving girls in grades 2–6, each BIO Girls program session meets 12 times for 90 minutes, creating a consistent and supportive environment for growth. Each gathering weaves together meaningful lessons, a Christian devotion, small-group mentoring, and non-competitive physical activity—nurturing both heart and mind.
Now reaching girls across five states, BIO Girls continues to expand its impact and inspire lasting change. With deep gratitude, we celebrate your commitment to cultivating confidence, resilience, and joy in the next generation.

Our next High Impact Board honoree is Furniture Mission of the Red River Valley! Since opening in 2019, Furniture Mission has been steadily meeting a basic but often overlooked need—ensuring that individuals and families emerging from difficult circumstances have the furnishings that give comfort to a home. In just a few short years, their impact has been remarkable. Since 2020, they have served more than 3,800 families and distributed over 50,000 pieces of furniture!
Today, we’re especially thankful to celebrate alongside Furniture Mission as they mark the expansion of their warehouse. This milestone reflects not only growth, but a deepened ability to serve the community with generosity and intention. Help FMRRV celebrate by visiting their open house (3:00-5:00pm) with a short program and ribbon cutting at 4:00!
Congratulations on your warehouse expansion and on being named a High Impact Board. Our community is stronger because of you.
