THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO OFFER EXPERIENCES THAT BUILD CONFIDENCE IN CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES.

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN YEAR ROUND FOR FAMILIES TO APPLY FOR DIRECT EXPERIENCES AND RECIPIENTS WILL BE SELECTED BY OUR BOARD. THE CHILD MUST HAVE A DISABILITY TO BE ELIGIBLE. ACTIVITIES WILL BE FUNDED BY PUBLIC DONATIONS, THE PROCEEDS FROM FUNDRAISERS, AND SELLING LOGO INSCRIBED APPAREL, STICKERS AND JEWELRY.
