Orr said he went to North Henderson Baptist and observed some of the work North Henderson does with special needs children. He said to be a church of any size “that would take the time to do this, it means a whole lot. And they just put it on my heart to help them out.”
Orr told WIZS about the children having a good time and feeling like part of the community and feeling like part of the world and enjoying things. “And that’s what it’s all about,” he said.
When he joined his church, Freedom Life Church, Orr said, “We established the weightlifting team. We started to use that and using events for fundraisers, the money we raised, (to) go ahead (to) try to make a difference in people’s lives that need help.”
He said the Brick Power Team has a vision to help others.
Orr told WIZS this fundraiser also will be connected with what is raised during another event later, a bench press event in September for the “Night to Shine” for special needs children and others in the North Henderson Baptist Church program.
