Four-Time Olympian Brings Local Message Of Hope
“No one rebuilds alone. Every transformation begins when someone is given support, dignity, and belief,” said Chaunté Lowe, four-time Olympian, breast cancer survivor, author, Founder and CEO, Boundless Resilience.™ The Rescue Mission invites the community to hear her keynote message at the Raise the Bar Breakfast, on May 5, 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Parkview Mirro Event and Conference Center.

Chaunté’s story reflects the heart of The Rescue Mission’s work: helping people rise after loss, regain confidence, and take the next step toward stability. Her message will affirm that resilience is not about perfection. It’s about process, courage, and community.
“This year’s theme symbolizes the work we do at The Rescue Mission and how we collaborate with others in our community. We raise the bar for those experiencing homelessness in how we care for and love our neighbors. We first see the person, then engage and advocate for human development. We work with each individual to remove barriers,” said Thomas McArthur, The Rescue Mission President and CEO.
Chaunté Lowe is a four-time U.S. Olympian, American record-holder, breast cancer survivor, and sought-after keynote speaker. Known for her powerful message on resilience and perseverance, Chaunté speaks to organizations nationwide about overcoming adversity, redefining success, and building strength through faith, discipline, and community.
