Every October we turn our Alive in All Seasons focus to
holidays and sports as we “Keep the Spirit” during this last celebratory
quarter of the year. Sporting events are inevitably part of that celebration
for many families.
According to Dr. Renee Clauselle, founder of Child and
Family Psychology, “Bonding over sports — the highs and lows of the game —
strengthens ties, helps us feel supported, and makes it easier for you to open
up about personal things.” Think of sports as an opportunity to connect with
others over a favorite – or even rival – team and learn more about each other.
Even strangers can learn more about where they grew up, which teams they
support, which sports they played and how those sports are different today. You
may even learn something about your loved ones that you never knew. Perhaps
great-grandma played softball in a women’s league during college. That would be
something to pass along to future generations! Watching a sporting event can
become so much more than plays and scores; it can become an opportunity to
learn the history of someone you love.
Join us this month and “Show Your Colors” as we sponsor a
local sports team, get into the spirit of the season with our Halloween Costume
Party and honor those associates who go above and beyond with our annual
Juniper Spirit Awards.
