It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And tomorrow is Giving Tuesday!
I really hope you’ll rally to help us make Giving Tuesday 2025 a huge fundraising success in support of the work our team does daily to improve the lives of the thousands we serve so that they, in turn, help our communities thrive!!
How does your donation help?
$75 provides a therapeutic session for an adult or child seeking mental health support!
$175 provides psychiatric care to an adolescent or adult!
$750 provides one month of attendance to our Day Program to an adult with an intellectual or developmental disability!
$1000 provides tuition for a school-aged child with a disability to one of our summer therapeutic and employment camps!
$3000 provides home visiting coaching services to one family with risk factors for an entire year to support a home free of abuse or neglect!
Let’s see what we can accomplish together on Giving Tuesday 2025!
I am so thankful for your trust in our team of compassionate professionals and your support for our work!

As we close out another impactful year, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support. Your generosity enables us to provide essential services – from supporting individuals with significant disabilities to equipping parents with the resources they need for a successful future. Your partnership truly changes lives.
As you consider your year-end giving, we’d like to share a powerful way to make an even greater impact:
Did you know?
Donating appreciated stock, securities you’ve held for more than one year, can offer two key tax advantages:
You may be able to avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated amount.
You may also be eligible for a charitable deduction for the full fair-market value of the stock (consult your tax advisor for details).
This means your gift may cost less out-of-pocket while doing even more to support the children, adults, and families we serve.
If you are considering a gift of appreciated stock or another year-end contribution, please know how deeply grateful we are. Your generosity sustains our mission and strengthens our community. If you want to learn more about how you can make an impact, reach out to me, I would be happy to help you.
Thank you for helping people succeed today, and into the year ahead.
Glenna Parris, CFRE
Director of Philanthropy
