OUR PARTNERS

Auberge Shalom

2021

This is the fifth year that we have partnered with Auberge Shalom to help women and children living with domestic violence. For the past three years, we have supported Auberge Shalom’s life changing Supporting Resilience Children’s Program: a critical program to help children unlearn the negative dynamics they witness at home and re-learn more effective skills. At the same time, this program provides much needed support to mothers who strive to support healthy development in their children. Professional counselling and support can effectively stop the cycle of domestic violence and our gift this year has helped Auberge Shalom to expand this transformative program with the recruitment of a second counsellor. Additionally, prevention programs were presented to the students from local high schools through the Support Resilience program.

2020

Our gift this year supported the Auberge Shalom Client Discretionary Fund and the Resilience Program. The client discretionary fund provides a safety net for women and is used in the most extreme or emergency situations. For example, this fund helped a single mother change her front door locks when her abusive ex-partner was suddenly released from prison. During the height of Covid, when a client lost her job and was unable to access any of the social programs offered by the government, Auberge Shalom was able to provide grocery cards and help her find a new job and gain control of their life.

This is the fifth year that the Adler & Lipkus foundation has been supporting the Auberge Shalom Supporting Resilience Program. This program offers counselling for mothers and their children and access to parenting support groups. In addition, professional counsellors outreach into the community and provide educational and prevention workshops to schools and community organizations.  Our involvement in these two programs has helped women and children survive the trauma of abuse.

2018

Our donation was directed to Auberge Shalom’s discretionary fund, which allowed some children to attend summer camp. In addition, we supported their resiliency program, which includes counselling for mothers, parenting support groups, outreach and education.

2014-2017

We formed a partnership in 2016 with Auberge Shalom pour femmes (ASPF), a center for women and their children who are affected by conjugal violence. Our donation supported the Children and Youth Services Program, an innovative program that offers free, bilingual, long-term support to children and mothers who are looking to heal from the effects of an abusive relationship. The program provides multiple outlets for children to express themselves through a variety of media, including play and art, in addition to talk-therapy. The use of art helps to create a positive and nurturing environment for children between the ages of 5 to late adolescence who have been exposed to conjugal violence. The Adler & Lipkus Foundation is proud to be able to make some small difference in the lives of these families.

B’nai Brith Canada

2021

This year, we added B’nai Brith as one of our partners. We happily contributed to their Emergency Food Box Program, which has been especially important for those who have been isolated or in a financial crisis during the pandemic.

Paralympic Foundation of Canada

2021

The impact on Para sport has been immeasurable because of the pandemic. Despite this, we continued to support the Paralympic Foundation of Canada. This year, the PFC requested our support to the Next Generation of Sitting Volleyball and Wheelchair Basketball athletes, and we were happy to grant their request. In the past three years, our donations were matched by the government of Canada, therefore doubling our support. Our donation this year moved us up to the Gold Level of the PFC Circle of Champions. We were privileged to join an exclusive 30-minute online presentation (specific for donors) featuring the delayed Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Game with Chef de Mission, Stephanie Dixon – live from Tokyo! In order to feel part of the celebration, on that day, a Japanese meal was hand delivered to us, along with a wine gift pack from Wayne Gretzky Estates. Yummy!

2020

Our interest this year was directed to the Paralympic curling team. The global health Pandemic forced the cancellation or indefinite postponement of all curling events, including in-person practices. For a new team, Canada’s wheelchair curling squad found a way to adapt. In September, the team, including coaches and trainers, held their first virtual training session, made possible through video conferencing technology. With a focus on honing the “TechTacts” (Techniques and tactics) of the sport, they ran through scenarios they could face in game situations. A mental performance coach was brought in to help them address the nuances of the precision sport. The virtual training session was so successful that a second is planned.

2019

We continue to support the Next Generation of Para athletes. This year, we put our donation towards three Paralympic sports, thus making it possible for even more Canadians with a disability to reach their potential in sport.

1. Para Canoeing: a new boat was purchased to upgrade to the most current model.
2. Wheelchair Tennis: Upgrade of tennis chairs and coaching fees.
3. Para Swimming: Our donation went to purchase “Gymaware Travel Tool” and “Smart Paddle Power Meter.” These tools are used to develop the athlete’s strokes.

2018

With our donation this year, the Canadian Para-Cycling team was able to purchase four sets of elite Comete racing wheels. These state-of-the-art competition level wheels have been supplied to our national team. One recipient, Keely Shaw, placed 5^th in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics. She also earned a silver medal at the Para Road World Cup in the Netherlands.  An added bonus to this gift is that the government of Canada matched our funding therefore doubling the impact of our gift.

2014-2017

We are proud to support our Canadian Paralympic athletes. Niva Shrestha, Senior Coordinator of Corporate Partnerships and Fundraising has always guided us as to where our funds would be most needed. In 2016 we purchased two specially adapted wheelchairs for two athletes who competed in the Rio de Janeiro Paralympics games: Zak Madell, who is ranked as one of the top wheelchair rugby players in the world, and Jason Roberts a leader in shotput, discus and javelin. Both athletes have brought gold, silver, and bronze metals proudly back to Canada over the years. This year (2017), we are honoured to assist Canada’s National Sledge Hockey team in their quest for a gold medal in Pyeong Chang, South Korea in the 2018 Paralympic games. Sledge hockey is the Paralympic sport version of ice hockey. All players have a lower-body disability and are strapped to a specially designed two-bladed sled. The funds from the Adler & Lipkus Foundation have outfitted these sleds for our Canadian team.

Canadian Wildlife Federation

2021

The monarch butterfly population has experienced a significant decline over the past 20 years. This is mainly due to pesticides, herbicides, and climate change. Restoring the Monarch butterfly to its former population is one of the greatest conservation challenges in North America. We continued to support the Pollinators Right of Way Program to ensure a healthy future for Canada’s wildlife and the habitats they depend on.

2020

Due to global warming, herbicides and hydro lines, pollinators such as the butterflies and bees have declined up to 80%. They provide essential ecological services by pollinating our food crops and trees. The biggest threat to these pollinators is loss of habitat. Our donation has helped to restore habitat along roadways as well as provide awareness workshops, and webinars.

2019

In December 2016, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) announced it was changing the monarch butterfly’s status from special concern to endangered. The Canadian Wildlife Federation believes that large-scale habitat restoration is imperative for avoiding extinction of this species. Our contribution this year was directed to the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Restoration project.

2018

We continue to support CWF with their wildlife education and conservation initiatives.

2014-2017

The Adler & Lipkus Foundation is very mindful of protecting and preserving the animals on our planet and we will continue to donate to this worthy cause.

CNIB

2021

This year we decided to do something a little different with our donation to the CNIB. Recently, CNIB purchased a 158-acre property in Carlton Place, Ontario. This is the new home of the state-of-the-art Guide Dog Canine Campus. Guide Dogs are among the most highly trained dogs in the world, performing tasks that require intensive standardized training. Having a guide dog is a transformational experience for individuals living with sight loss. It provides mobility, safety, and confidence, leading to increased independence and a sense of connection with the world. In the wake of COVID-19, having a guide dog as a companion and partner to navigate our communities is more important than ever. A key component of the Canine Campus is the Dog Pod” Re-design Project. These are enclosures that provide the animals with a dynamic home environment that is functional, flexible and offers ample room for various activities, while aiming to build socialization skills and reduce stress in the animals. Our gift this year was the purchase of one of these pods.

2020

We continue this year to support the translation and production of Braille children’s books for elementary school libraries across Canada. The original plan was to outfit 40 schools (35 English and 5 French) with 200 books, 5-6 new books for each school. As a result of COVID, the plan was changed. CNIB received referrals from across the country identifying children with the highest needs. These families would have a total of 300 books mailed to them. People from the CNIB would outreach to the parents and teach them how to work with their children. It is recommended that after the pandemic, these families would donate these books back to the schools so other kids can enjoy therm.

In addition, our foundation funded the prizes for the Canadian Braille Creative Writing Contest. We were able to attend the contest virtually and present the prizes to the talented winners.

2019

Our foundation will continue to support the braille literacy project. In 2019, 140 books with numerous copies have been translated. These books have been distributed to BC, AB, SASK, ON and to the Atlantic provinces. For the first time, some French books are now being distributed in Quebec. Our donation was also used to expand upon the “TD Grade One Book Giveaway Project” by providing a box of braille books to school libraries where children with sight loss attend. This program will ensure that a braille-formatted book is provided to each child in need. The child then has easy access to enjoy additional titles within their school.

2018

In early 2018 the CNIB literacy department initiated a new print braille project targeted to pre-school age children. This soon became The Adler & Lipkus Braille Project. Parents reported that they could wait up to 3 months for a selected braille book to arrive at their local library and with that in mind, we agreed to sponsor an assortment of high quality children’s books to be translated into braille. The books were distributed from coast to coast, based on greatest assessed needs to include Newfoundland, Ontario, Saskatchewan and B.C. Children up to the age of 10 have benefited from these books.

2014-2017

In our quest to reach out to any population in need of financial assistance, we contacted Janet Whitney, the National Manager of Corporate Partnerships & Foundations in Toronto We worked together to determine how our donation could provide something concrete to those who are visually impaired. The following products were identified and subsequently donated to the CNIB by the Adler & Lipkus Foundation:

• 60 Early READASAURUS literacy kits for children. The materials in these kits explain how to introduce reading to children with vision loss, and includes audio books on CDs, tactile exercises, games and stickers, a braille ruler, magnifier and glow-in-the-dark braille wrist bands.
• 4 Mini-Lite Boxes, which help children develop awareness of light, color, and objects.
• 2 fully loaded IPads with specialized programs and applications.
• 10 special IPads for a new initiative called the Community Hub program, an innovative, accessible space where community members with sight loss can come for social and emotional support, learn new skills and thrive in an engaging space. It is a pilot project that launched in June 2017 and delivers a wide array of quality-of-life programs in major cities across Canada.

Cummings Centre

2021

The “Adler & Lipkus Compassionate Fund” continues to support the vulnerable seniors in Montreal. Thanks to this fund, these seniors have received such necessities as dental care, moving expenses, new mattresses, glasses etc. In addition, our funds purchased disinfectant foggers which were used to disinfect the program rooms to keep the seniors safe once they returned to the Centre in person. We were happy to receive reports during the year from the executive director of the Cummings Centre informing us of how the funds have been distributed.

2020

We continue our support for those seniors who are at risk or for low-income seniors, with items or services that are unaffordable to them.

This year, our assistance paid for dentures, hearing aids, moving expenses, compression garments, adapted bathroom bars and customized specialized chairs for some of their clientele. Since COVID-19 prevented many elderly people from leaving their homes, we additionally arranged for meals and food to be delivered to these isolated seniors.

2019

The Adler & Lipkus Compassionate Fund for vulnerable seniors continues to help those low-income seniors with items or services that are unaffordable to them.  This year, these funds assisted with dental work, hearing aids, cleaning service for clients with a disability, orthotic shoes, glasses, ostomy supplies, and emergency Lifelines. Additionally, we contributed to their pet therapy program for mental health clients.

2018

Once again, our donation was put into the Adler & Lipkus Compassionate fund for Vulnerable Seniors. In 2018, the fund was used to provide emergency dental treatments, orthotics, dentures, medications, hearing aids, and glasses. In addition, the Centre was able to install an emergency alarm in the handicapped washroom.

2014-2017

After searching for just the right organization to assist the Montreal senior population, we finally formed a partnership with the Cummings Centre. In collaboration with the Executive Director, Pauline Grunberg and the Foundation Director, Cathy Simons, we set up a compassionate fund to assist vulnerable seniors. The money in this fund has paid for medication (not covered by the government), emergency dental treatment, hearing aids, glasses and dentures. These concrete necessities have improved the quality of life for these men and women. In order to protect older adults from sustaining elevator-related injuries, we were able to finance the cost of sensors that were installed in the Centre’s elevator. As a result, the seniors are able to enter the elevator at their leisure without worrying that the doors might close too quickly, thus causing bodily harm.

Dans la Rue

2021

Since 2017, the Adler & Lipkus Foundation has been a truly essential partner with Dans la Rue in their efforts to provide the best possible support to homeless and at-risk youth. Our support has been so important, and we are proud that our donations have had a real positive impact on hundreds of young people on their paths towards autonomy and reintegration. This year, our gift purchased winter parkas, jackets, boots, and shoes.

2020

The COVID-19 Pandemic has been particularly hard on youth experiencing homelessness. Access to drinking water was problematic and the public drinking fountains in Montreal were shut off. Washrooms in restaurants and public buildings were closed. Warm meals became hard to come by as they were difficult to serve in a safe way at the Centre. Many laundromats temporarily shut down. There were fewer spaces at emergency shelters. The cold winters are especially hard on homeless youth, therefore this year we decided to focus our donation on purchasing warm winter coats, hoodies, boots and socks to help them through the long cold winter months.

2019

This year, we continue to support the DLR music program: a program that is used by many youth every day. Our contribution helped to develop the music room and to purchase new classical instrument which included a cello, 2 trumpets, 2 clarinets one trombone, drum cymbals, amplifier and studio monitors. This unique program provides therapy and the participants are learning an instrument, forming a band and playing together.  Also, “Ted & Sandy’s Store” distributed 53 winter parkas (double last year’s quantity) and 150 pair of winter boots.

2018

We are proud to welcome Dans la Rue as a new partner this year. This organization responds to the needs of homeless youth and youth at risk. Part of our donation was used to set up “Ted and Sandy’s Store” which distributed winter coats and boots to a number of young men and women during the cold winter months. We also made a three-year financial commitment to upgrade and enhance their music program. The music therapist presented us with a wish list and with out gift the Centre has been able to purchase instruments and sound equipment for their music program.

Federation CJA

2021

This is our first year partnering with CJA. Our gift was directed to their Community Recovery and Resilience Campaign, in their efforts to improve the lives of the community’s most vulnerable in a time of need: meals, food vouchers, education and assistance for Holocaust survivors. In addition, we are working with CJA to develop a program to educate and develop awareness of anti-Semitism through education in schools and universities.

Hope & Cope

2021

This year we continued to direct our gift to the compassionate fund for patients from Hope & Cope. This fund has been a lifeline for so many patients whose cancer diagnosis plunges them into dire financial straits. Requests for urgent assistant have increased substantially during the COVI-19 pandemic. Requests from this fund included assistance with transportation, meals delivered to families with children, help with medical supplies and medication not covered by Medicare, grocery vouchers and dental services.

2020

Our donation this year was directed to their Compassionate Fund. This fund is a lifeline to families in desperate financial situations while undergoing their cancer treatments. Our gift helped with such necessities as medications, compression garments such as lymphedema sleeves, medical supplies and costly prescription creams. The fund also helped pay for childcare expenses, groceries and food deliveries. Many patients have difficulty getting to the hospital for their treatments or medical appointments, so this fund assisted with transportation by providing bus passes, parking passes or taxi tickets.

2019

Our support of Hope & Cope and their en famille program is an ongoing commitment of the Adler & Lipkus foundation. This year, we were proud to sponsor two additional publications on talking to children about cancer.

1. Talking to Children about Advanced Cancer and End of Life
2. Talking to Children About the Loss of a Loved One.

A trifold binder was also created which will hold the series of three books (one which was sponsored last year). This will be given to the professionals as a resource to help their patients find ways to talk to their children about these difficult topics. 2018 We continue to support their en famille program, which offers programs and services to patients with children under the age of 18.  In addition, this year, part of our donation was directed to the production of a bilingual publication called “ Talking to Children About Cancer: A Guide for Families and Care Providers”.  This resource has been used not only by the Hope & Cope team but by other hospital professional staff as well. A copy can be downloaded from their website at https://www.hopeandcope.ca/young-adults-young-families/en-famille/ 2014-2017 Hope & Cope has been dear to our hearts for many years. We continue to support its en famille program, which is geared towards the needs of young families coping with cancer. Our donation has helped to fund such requests as medical supplies and medications, resource kits on how to explain cancer to children, home-cooked meals, grocery coupons, a bilingual book library, and school supplies. The program also assists patients in getting to and from the hospital by providing taxi tickets or bus passes for patients when necessary. We have also been able to assist in programs and events such as children’s workshops, parent activities and the annual family BBQ. Over the past 6 years, the Hope & Cope en famille program has helped more than 600 young cancer patients and their families.

Habilitas Foundation (Formerly MAB-Mackay)

2021

We continued our commitment to the Early Intervention Clinic and to the fulfillment of their equipment needs. Two new pieces of equipment have been added to the clinic’s priority list. One of these screening devices can determine if the child has hearing loss or is on the autistic spectrum and can detect potential hearing problems early. The other, identifies vision difficulties and can provide early detection of potential vision problems. These tests can be done in a timely fashion in the clinic, thus eliminating an 18-month hearing evaluation at the local children’s hospitals.

2020

Our donation this year was the first of a three-year commitment to set up an Early Intervention Clinic. This clinic enables children with disabilities and developmental delays to be assessed and evaluated as early as possible, therefore providing the appropriate therapies. Our gift made a real difference in providing the clinic with state-of-the-art equipment such as adapted gross motor apparatus (balance beam, hurdles, practice staircase etc..), adapted seating equipment and therapeutic benches. The aim of this equipment is to increase children’s independence in mobility. In addition, our contribution helped to create a waiting room and clinic area which is welcoming for children and their families.

2019

Our donation this year supported an Advanced Technology Training Room for the visually impaired, a room with devices and technology which will allow the visually impaired to carry out routine tasks at work, school and home. Screen-reading software, Braille devices and touch screens allow these individuals to use computers, cell phones and other electronic devices independently, thus facilitating reading their mail, writing documents, browsing the internet, and getting step-by-step walking directions to unfamiliar places. These smart devices can be customized and paired with voice recognition  (IE Google Home and Chromecast). Up-to-date technology can now be accessible to those with mobility or sensory challenges.

2018

It has always been our pleasure to work with MAB-MacKay centre and this year was no exception. A new project was presented to us and that was to sponsor a Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program using Smart Room Technology. The use of Smart board technology in group sessions teaches communication strategies with one’s family, friends and work colleagues. In order to do this, the Centre needed an upgrade of sound-field systems, FM (personal amplification) towers, transmitter microphones and receivers. Our gift was able to make this possible.

2017

In 2017 we began a partnership with the MAB-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre. After visiting the Centre and meeting with the staff and students, we saw the need for a particular piece of equipment known as the Tobii Dynavox This innovative state-of-the-art computer technology helps children who are non-verbal (as a result of cerebral palsy or other motor impairments) gain the ability to communicate and engage with their families and the world around them. The pioneering eye-tracking technology and speech-generating ability will give these children a voice, resulting in increased opportunities for socialization, integration, and enhanced quality of life. We were happy to donate the first one for use at their Centre.

Salvation Army

2021

The ongoing pressures of the pandemic and the impact of inflation are having a significant effect on the lives of Canadian families and their children

This year, we directed part of our gift to the Christmas Kettle Campaign, which enables the Salvation Army to provide practical assistance to thousands of families and individuals who have met with hard times. This includes meals, Christmas food hampers, clothing, and toys. We continue to fund their Backpack Project for families in need. Backpacks with school supplies are distributed to ensure that every elementary and high-school student receives the supplies they need before they start the school year.

2020

Once again, our gift this year enabled children to receive backpacks filled with school supplies. 600 backpacks were prepared and distributed to the community by appointment only due to the Pandemic. During this time of COVID, food was at a shortage for many families. We were therefore able to provide Personalized Food Hampers which were picked up by people according to the individual needs of each family.

2019

Our gift this year was able to help many children and we sponsored two projects.

1. Back to School event: 700 school bags filled with supplies were handed out to children from low-income families in the Greater Montreal area.
2. Summer camp l’Achigan: More than 250 youth were able to attend this week-long summer camp and the foundation helped to subsidize these families

2018

There is no organization that can more readily mobilize itself where and when the need is greatest than the Salvation Army. They are present in 400 communities across Canada and more than 130 countries around the world, offering services in 175 different languages. The Adler & Lipkus Foundation is proud to be affiliated with such an organization. For the third year in a row, along with our grandchildren, we assisted with the distribution of back-to-school backpacks. We also continue our support of sending children to the Salvation Army summer camp. 2014-2017 Our partnership with the Salvation Army started three years ago, in 2015 and we continue to find new and exciting ventures within the organization to financially support. We meet regularly with Karimé Issa, the Fundraising Officer. Each year she identifies new projects with which we can become involved. To date, we have supported the following:

1. The sponsorship of children for their summer camp at Lac l’Achigan, Quebec. The Salvation Army works with many social service agencies in Quebec to identify children who would benefit from this unique camp experience. In addition to sending these children to camp we have donated 80 sweatshirts for a teen leadership program, and sleeping bags and hygiene bags (toiletries, towels, sunscreen etc.) that are distributed to the children when they arrive at camp.
2. The donation and distribution of backpacks filled with school supplies to excited children getting ready for the school year. Once again, the Salvation Army works with the social service agencies to identify children who would benefit from receiving these backpacks.
3. The establishment of the Adler & Lipkus Compassionate Fund at Manoir Montclair, the Salvation Army Seniors Residence. This fund assists with the immediate needs of its population.

United Hatzalah

2021

This year, we agreed to make a three-year financial commitment for the building of a volunteer house just outside of Jerusalem. This multi-functional facility provides medical training for the volunteers and serves as a medical supply distribution point for the local United Hatzalah teams. The house will be stocked with a full inventory of first aid supplies. It also acts as a meeting place for medics, paramedics, doctors, and nurses. It is a place to offer first aid courses for hundreds of residents in the community, providing lifesaving skills to parents and teachers.

2020

This is the sixth year of our partnership with UH. Each year we work with the team in Israel to hear what their greatest needs might be.

In the past, we have donated ambucycles, ambubikes, and an ambucar. We also sponsored the training for 10 volunteer paramedics,

Our gift this year helped Hatzalah purchase emergency medical equipment such as bullet proof vests and helmets, to give to the volunteers to help with their life-saving mission in Israel.

2019

In honour and celebration of two of our grandsons’ Bar Mitzvahs, we purchased two ambu-E-Bikes. They are now being used in Israel and have been saving lives. 2018 This year, the foundation purchased three ambu E-bikes in honour of our brother Sid Adler’s 90^th birthday. These electric bicycles are equipped with emergency life-saving medical equipment and have the additional advantage of reaching people in hard to access areas. 2014-2017 When we heard about United Hatzalah and had the opportunity to meet with its president, Elli Beer, we knew that this was one organization we wanted as a partner. Using specially equipped motorcycle ambulances, United Hatzalah’s network of close to 4000 volunteer medics help save thousands of lives each year across Israel by providing emergency medical treatment in an average response time of 3 minutes or less. We are proud to support United Hatzalah in its efforts to save lives in Israel. To date, we have donated the following:

• 2 ambucycles (fully equipped motorcycles with life-saving equipment aboard).
• A fully equipped medical “Ambucar”: a medical vehicle providing critical emergency response all over Israel.
• The sponsorship of a team of ten volunteer paramedics. In doing this, Hatzalah is able to continue to train and equip more volunteer medics, paramedics and physicians with the goal of increasing its network of volunteers across Israel, and in doing so more lives will be saved.

These donations were made in memory of Ted’s brother Eli Adler, our beloved parents Leah and Meyer Adler, and Rose and Isadore Lipkus, and lovingly in honour of our 14 grandchildren. We are proud to continue to support this most worthy organization and plan to visit the command centre in Israel very soon.

YCC Tikvah Summer Camp (special needs family camp)

2019

This year, in addition to sponsoring over 20 families for the family camp experience, our donation allowed for the hiring of a professional staff of experts and animators to enrich the camp. This included a music therapist, professional paramedic, art specialist, professional photographer and specialists to run a rock-climbing event. In addition, they were able to augment their lifeguarding staff to a more mature, experienced, and engaging staff who guarded as well as worked directly with participants. Our gift also helped to sponsor a professional panel for parents, which included a behaviourist, sexologist, PHD from McGill, and a Family Doctor.

2018

This 4-day camp, held in mid-August, provides children with developmental disorders and/or special learning disorders, their parents, and their siblings with the unique opportunity to experience the magic of summer camp in a warm, welcoming environment. This is the only camp of its kind in Canada. It has been our privilege to continue sponsoring families to attend this program.

2014-2017

We know first-hand how difficult it is for a family to care for a child with a mental-health or physical disability. When we heard about Camp Tikvah at the YM-YWHA, we knew that we needed to become involved. After learning about what the camp does and how many families could not afford this experience we were honoured to sponsor some families to attend the summer camp in Huberdeau, Quebec. This program offers an exceptional variety of activities and programs for children with special needs and their families. The incredible team of qualified staff and volunteers includes therapists, creative and physical art specialists and a medical team. The children participate in a variety of activities including horseback riding, swimming, and boating. We feel privileged to be able to help these families have an amazing summer experience.
