President/ Founder: Ethan Hope
Hello! My name is Ethan Hope and I am the president of this club. I started this club because I grew up with a family friend who was autistic. By growing up with my friend, I learned about the hardships that autistic children have to go through. It was through these hardships that I learned that we (the community) must give back to the people in need. It is my hope that by providing our services we can help improve children with autism's communication skills and help them have fun!
Vice President: Cierra Healy
Hi my name is Cierra! I am a sophomore at Sage Creek and play soccer and lacrosse for my school. In addition, I play lacrosse at a competitve level and coach a third and fourth grade lacrosse team. I have a tremendous amount of experience babysitting and working with kids. I wanted to become a part of this club because I have a three year old cousin who is on the spectrum for autism and I wanted to do something incredible for similar children and give back to my community in a way that exceeds anything I've ever done in the past. I am very passionate about this program and am excited to see it grow. I look forward to working with these awesome kids and can't wait to meet everyone! If you have any questions or concerns regarding myself or this program, please contact me: [email protected]
Secretary: Harper Hughes
Hi my name is Harper Hughes! I am a sophomore at Sage Creek and have grown up playing sports. I currently play competitive soccer and absolutely love it. I have been babysitting for a few years and love interacting with other children. I am also apart of Champions League, a program that takes place on Fridays that encourages children with disabilities to get involved with sports and be given the opportunity to meet new people. I wanted to be involved in Bobcat Buddies because I think it is important to help the community and bring children with autism together to have a great time. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and am excited to see our club grow!!
Event Planner: Grace O'Grady
Hi my name is Grace, I have been playing sports ever since I was young. Now I play soccer on a competitive level and love being active. I recently participated in Champions League through La Galaxy San Diego which is similar to the ideas of this sport but focused on only soccer. So when my friends and I started coming up with the idea of creating Bobcat Buddies I was very interested because I loved Champions League and all of the children. I am so excited to be a part of this club!
