Celebrating an Arizona Archer

Meet Emma Berkshire

At Positive Athlete, our mission is to celebrate high-character student-athletes who make a real difference in their schools and communities. That's why we were so thrilled to honor an outstanding individual in the archery community, Emma Berkshire!

We are always looking for the best ways to "highlight Emma in a more public forum," and what better way than at a major state competition?

A Strategic Partnership

This heartwarming ceremony showcased the powerful collaboration between Positive Athlete and USA Archery Arizona . Kristy Wapniarski, President of USA Archery Arizona, graciously hosted the event, ensuring Emma received the recognition she deserves for embodying our core values of optimism, perseverance, and community impact.

"Everything went well. We were able to honor Emma, share more information with the attendees about Positive Athlete, and capture a great moment" shared Kristy following the event.

This special presentation was a fantastic team effort, showcasing the amazing community spirit within USA Archery and its state chapters.

We want to extend a huge thank you to our partners who made this possible:

• Richard Fleming at USA Archery for his national support and helping coordinate the effort.

• Kristy Wapniarski, President of USA Archery Arizona, for graciously agreeing to host the presentation and handle all the on-site details.

  
  

Kristy and her team presented the award to Emma during the USA Archery Arizona Outdoor State Championships on the weekend of October 18-19.

"Everything went well," Kristy shared with us. "We were able to honor Emma [and] share more information with the attendees about Positive Athlete."
