First Stop Gala
New Horizon 5 is a bronze level sponsor of First Stop Inc. First Stop is a non-profit organization that is on a mission to "encounter the homeless where they are, connect them to critical services and support, and empower them toward independent sustainable living."
New Horizon 5 is aiding the First Stop organization to help slow the rate of homelessness in Huntsville by providing homeless individuals with basic necessities and care.

THANK YOU FROM FIRST STOP
Jessica Brown,
Resource Development Manager
Amy,
Thank you so much to New Horizon 5 for supporting First Stop as a Bronze sponsor at our "Largest City, Biggest Heart" dinner. Huntsville's homeless population is growing and it's because of the generosity of individuals and business that we are able to continue our work in the community.
​
Thank you

Running with Shaun Wahl
Oct 17, 2022
Shaun Wahl is a 5th grader who defies all odds. With the help of his father and mother, Peter & Jennifer Wahl, and a New Horizon 5 consultant, Shaun has been able to traverse miles of rocky land, hilly land, and just about anything else that any other distance runner might see on an outdoor trail.
​
After Peter started to backpack as a hobby, his son Shaun took interest and wanted to join. Peter Wahl built a motorized chair for Shaun, who has cerebral palsy, allowing him to go the distances with other like minded champions on outdoor runs.
​
Shaun recently hosted an event to celebrate the release of a short documentary, about Shaun's triumphant story, which New Horizon 5 sponsored.
​
"My boy, Shaun, is on today’s front page story of the Ventura County Star newspaper [...]
The story also highlights that Shaun is staring in the fundraiser film premiere [...] Thank you so much for supporting that event!"
-Peter Wahl, Shaun's dad
