Butterflies & Blueberries

Join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of Amaris Eliana Young, a radiant young soul who touched everyone she met with her kindness, faith, and unwavering spirit. Known for her vibrant personality and dedication to family, friends, and community, Amaris was an active participant in volleyball, music, drama, and art classes at Christian Ministries Academy, where she excelled academically while also nurturing a sense of humor that brightened the lives of those around her.
This year's event promises to be both memorable and meaningful. On Saturday, September 19, 2026, we invite you to take part in our Fall Trail Walk/Run—a unique opportunity to honor Amaris’s memory while supporting Christian Ministries Academy. The race course winds through scenic trails that highlight the beauty of nature during autumn's colorful transition.
Participants will experience a challenging yet rewarding 5k journey, featuring varied terrain and breathtaking views as they traverse winding paths and climb gentle hills. This event is not just about physical endurance; it’s an occasion to reflect on Amaris’s impact and continue her legacy by fostering growth within the community through education and faith-based initiatives.
Registration for guaranteed race shirts closes on September 6th, so be sure to sign up early to secure your commemorative gear. Whether you are a seasoned runner or prefer leisurely walks along scenic routes, this event offers an inclusive atmosphere where everyone can come together in celebration of Amaris’s life and her contributions to the community.
