Thank You!
To everyone who attended the 20th Anniversary of On Cloud Nine on February 1, 2020.
THIS YEAR’S EVENT
This year’s event was a remarkable one! Over 850 guests joined in the celebration of Lauren and Paige. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, over $800,000 was raised in support of Horizons for Youth students. A special thanks to Rob Johnson, Communications Specialist/Former TV Anchor, for MC’ing the evening and to our amazing band Entourage for keeping the crowd on their feet all night!
Below, the Barnett family takes a moment to reflect on how this event has been impacting their lives—and the lives of our entire community—for 20 years.
It has been an incredible honor to partner with Kent and the entire Barnett family over the last 20 years. When On Cloud Nine first began, Horizons for Youth served 42 students from K-8th grade. Thanks in large part to the tremendous dedication of the Barnetts and the supporters of this event, we now serve 250 students from kindergarten all the way through their college graduation.
EVENT’S HISTORY
On Cloud Nine was founded in 2001 to honor the memory of Paige Barnett, who passed away on February 2, 2000, at the age of 18 months. 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.
