Veteran Spotlight: Sonni Rhone

Each month BlazeSports with be spotlighting our amazing Veteran and youth athletes. We are excited to start with Sonni Rhone who has been part of the BlazeSports veteran’s program for five years. An Army Veteran, she has participated in yoga, water aerobics, bowling, learn to swim, pickleball, and our veteran camps. Sonni shares that being part of BlazeSports has increased her confidence while opening her up to new activities such as zip-lining.

Sonni and her husband, who served in the Navy, have met lifelong friends who feel more like family, at BlazeSports. Her daughter Nevaeh has cerebral palsy and is a part of our youth programs. “The programs offered have kept me active and social, I’m very grateful for BlazeSports.” – Sonni
