Community Giving
Our foundation has held two successful fundraisers in the past year - with a third planned for November 2024.
We have raised enough funds to donate beach wheelchairs so everyone can enjoy our beautiful beaches, many scholarships to The Autism Project's summer camp, donations to the new gym at The Sargeant's Rehabilitation Center. We have also sponsored a monthly respite art night out program, which introduces dance and art to the special needs community. We are currently in the process of creating over 100 Sensory JAM Bins to be distributed to local educators this month.

Kindness is Universal
On the 15th day of each month we spread an act of kindness.
We've brought cases of water and snacks to the children attending the extended school year program; wish allows for a child to continue learning critical skills related to self-sufficiency, and independence. Previously, we have delivered inclusion assistance to first responders (as well as much needed snacks), items ot hospital workers at the local children's hospital, water/donuts to road crews, and scholarship for the local Autism Summer camp
