POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

At Beacon, some of the best college memories happen outside the classroom. They're made with friends, shared with family and built through the experiences that bring our community together. 💛

Here's a look at some of our favorite moments from Family Weekend 2026!

Good morning you handsome & gorgeous lot. My family was featured on the @pbs show “A World of Difference: Embracing Neurodiversity” to discuss navigating life at the intersection of neurodiversity & multigenerational caregiving.

The episode includes: a Family Matters segment where you meet my family and learn a bit of our story after my mom moved in. Then, experts share strategies for navigating sandwich generation issues. Finally, Difference Maker Rebecca Tarrant aims to create a more inclusive world for neurodivergent kids like her son.

Please check it out & let me know what you think
Link for the full episode and our Family Matters segment alone are in my bio.

I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to introduce Dr. George Hagerty, Beacon College’s president at our Open House!! This man has been a guiding light for so many people, me included!!

I’m officially in my alpha era… I have come to realize that I’m a leader and love helping others and making people feel seen and welcome!! This has come with hard times but I’m grateful to be the son of a living God who has blessed me with the opportunity to speak and lead people to greatness!!

We had the opportunity to help Beacon College this morning, and we absolutely loved bringing a little extra color to their event! 🎈✨

These navy, burgundy & gold balloons were the perfect addition to their Takeaway Zone and tied everything together beautifully. We love getting to work with colleges, businesses, and organizations to add that finishing touch to their events!

Thank you, Beacon College, for trusting Up Up and Away to be a small part of your morning! 💙✨

📍 Corporate • College • Grand Openings • Special Events
🎈 A little magic in every balloon.

We have no words. 💙 (Okay, maybe a few.)

This weekend, The Promise School was featured in A World of Difference: Embracing Neurodiversity, produced by Beacon College, and honored with the Difference Maker Award.

The film shares the story of our children, our mission, and our son Leo. Perfectly imperfect. Three years and three days that changed everything, and became the very heart of this school.

Every child deserves to be seen as capable. That is the promise. Watch the full segment at the link in our bio, and meet the kids who remind us every single day why we built this place.

Thank you, Beacon College and NG Production Films, for telling it so beautifully. 🙏

✨🪄 GOING INTO THE WEEKEND, WE’RE MAKING ALL KINDS OF FEEL-GOOD MAGIC! 🪄✨

Today, one of our incredible board members delivered 250 Blue Envelopes + 20 sensory kits to the Leesburg Police Department in Florida! 💙

And we couldn’t be more excited about what that means.

Leesburg is home to Beacon College, the first college in the nation accredited to award bachelor’s degrees exclusively to students with learning disabilities. So this community is already doing something pretty extraordinary when it comes to creating opportunities for neurodivergent individuals.

Now, we’re adding another layer of support by helping equip local law enforcement with tools that can make a real difference when responding to autistic and neurodivergent individuals.

Because inclusion isn’t just a word.

It’s a Blue Envelope in an officer’s patrol car.
It’s a sensory kit in the hands of someone who needs it.
It’s having the right tools before a moment becomes a crisis.

And today, we’re especially grateful for the Florida Autism License Plate Grant Program, whose support helped make this delivery possible. 💙

This is what Hope in Action looks like.

One envelope.
One sensory kit.
One trained officer.
One community at a time.

The fun continues....

Beacon Brownie party! They only had a couple days left before they hugged the dumpster hello. I decided to share them with kids across campus for a little evening treat
