About On Cloud Nine 2025
When the Barnett family hosted the first On Cloud Nine in 2001, Horizons served about 50 students in grades K-8. This academic year, we are providing assistance to more than 200 students from kindergarten into college and post-secondary career entry. With nearly $7 million raised, this event has been instrumental in the expansion of our services and the support of our students!
Horizons for Youth and the Barnett Family invite you to join us at the 25th Annual On Cloud Nine. This special evening honors the memories and legacies of Paige Barnett and Lauren Heath while celebrating the impact that volunteers have on Horizons for Youth’s mission and students.
Please join us as we celebrate this significant milestone and advance our mission to transform children’s lives by providing targeted resources, rooted in education, in trusting partnership with their families and communities.

Event’s History
On Cloud Nine was founded in 2001 to honor the memory of Paige Barnett, who passed away at the age of 18 months on February 4, 2000. The event, established by Paige’s parents, Kent Barnett and Lauren Heath, supports the children of Horizons for Youth. On Cloud Nine also now pays tribute to Lauren Heath, who passed away in July of 2015, after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
Our work would not be possible without our generous supporters. To donate to Horizons for Youth and keep the legacy of Lauren and Paige alive, please visit our donate page below.
