We created Bites on the River as an opportunity for you to invite your friends to get to know Immerse and join you in supporting this mission.

Over the past 14 years, together we’ve come alongside over 1800 youth from crisis who have aged out of foster care, navigated foster care and adoption, experienced homelessness, human trafficking and other traumas. The community has stepped up in big ways, and there is more work to be done! The fulfillment of our mission is made possible with the help of committed donors like you.

“We’re working to ensure youth in arkansas have a path to overcome crisis and enter adulthood resilient and ready for life.”
- Eric Gilmore

We hope you can join us for Bites on the River 2024. This event is a celebration of our donors and a chance to hear from our youth. We encourage you to bring a friend to learn more about our mission and explore how others can partner with us.

At Immerse, we're building an expansive pathway to healing by surrounding youth from crisis with unconditional relationships, tools that anticipate their needs and dreams and a vision for their restored future. This creates a climate for healing, growth, and transformation.

Will you invite others to join you in this work?
here are three simple steps!

STEP ONE: Share your WHY. Why do you care about youth aging out of foster care or homeless youth? What draws you to this mission?

STEP TWO: Text or email them the registration link and hand them an invitation that we sent you in the mail.

STEP THREE: Follow up with them and make sure they’ve registered.

Tickets are free. Please RSVP here or contact Morgun Wadley at mwadley@immersearkansas.org or 501-419-4472
