Susan's Mission

06/27/2026

Today was one of those moments we'll never forget. 💜

With just a couple hours' notice, our Susan's Mission family came together at Laki Hawaiian Ice to make signs, enjoy some sweet treats, and get ready to welcome home our very own Drew Kirkman after an incredible week at the USA Special Olympics Games! 🇺🇸🏊‍♂️

Watching Drew ride through his hometown of Morris on the fire engine with that huge smile on his face was something truly special. The excitement, the cheers, and the love from our community made this a memory we'll all cherish. I had tears in my eyes seeing it all unfold.

A huge thank you to Laki Hawaiian Ice for welcoming us in, letting us make our signs there, and giving us a place to gather before the parade. We truly appreciate your kindness and support!

And thank you to every single person who dropped what they were doing and came out to celebrate Drew. Your presence meant so much and showed exactly what the Susan's Mission family is all about.

Drew, we are beyond proud of you. Welcome home! 💜🏅
