All of the funds raised will go directly towards supporting special needs individuals and their families.  We do this by hosting (free) inclusive events, (free) educational offerings, (free) sibling events for siblings of special needs, (free) presentations on neurodiversity to schools and community organizations, and by providing scholarships for individual needs (communication devices, sensory items, therapies, etc).  And this year we are bringing “Choose To Include” clubs to local schools to promote inclusion and acceptance in our schools (we’re VERY excited about this)!!!
