The Next Mile

Building Toward the Brightest Future

On March 26, 2026, Community Impact Network will gather civic leaders, partners, and supporters to celebrate progress — and look ahead to what’s next.

This milestone event marks both a reflection on impact and the official kickoff of The Next Mile — the next phase of community-driven transformation in the Ohio Valley.

Why We’re Gathering

Over the past year, Community Impact Network has worked to uncover pressing needs and bold opportunities within our community.

Our first transformative initiative — Newbridge Academy for Kids — brought new life to a historic downtown building while expanding access to high-quality childcare for working families.

At this event, we will:

  • Present our annual report highlighting measurable growth and impact

  • Recognize the partners and supporters who made this progress possible

  • Introduce our new president and board members

  • Share the vision for The Next Mile and future opportunities ahead

This gathering is both a celebration and a commitment — to continue building toward the brightest future for the Ohio Valley.
