Special Friends
To my loving and caring cousins (and friends), Jennie & Laura, for all of your hard work in designing the perfect logo for the Foundation and for adding the personal touches to reflect Adam's personality in the animated logo! Your love and continued support mean the world to me and our family…
To Jen and her father, Bryon, for their work creating a fabulous website and working many hours away from their families. Your continued efforts are so much appreciated and your dedication to the Foundation does not go unnoticed!
To the dedicated Board of Directors: Sandi, Jen, Michael and Jill. Thank you for agreeing to be a part of something that I hold dear to my heart and giving all that you have to making this Foundation the success it is today. It could not happen without you all… To my amazing mother who is the Treasurer for the Foundation and supports the Foundation in this capacity, as well as emotional support, all the way from Michigan! Thank you for your dedication and support from so far away…
Thank you, Sheree, for your support of the Foundation from the very beginning and for always being there for me as a great friend, Adam's therapist and provider for the Foundation. You support my family and me in so many different ways. I could have never started the Foundation without your help and support! www.sensorysolutions.org
To Ben Toebbens, the manager of Plaza Lanes, for hosting a fundraiser for the Foundation at the bowling alley on May 2nd , 2009 which raised $1800 for the Foundation. Thank you for your continued support of the Foundation! www.plazalanesbowlingcenter.com
To Russ Kasper, the owner of Brewskeez's Sports Café and The Rough Ryders who have hosted and performed for the Foundation on three different occasions (Nov, 2008, May and Nov, 2009) and have raised over $10,000 with these three events! Russ, you have been such an integral part of our fundraising efforts since we began back in April, 2008. With your help we have been able to touch the lives of more than 15 families raising children with autism! Your continued support and dedication to the Foundation is much appreciated! brewskeez.net & www.myspace.com/theroughryders
To my family and friends, for all of your continued support of my decision to start this Foundation, I am so grateful to be able to reach out to the community and give back resources and financial support to families like ours experiencing the challenges of raising a child with autism. Raising a child with special needs is very rewarding and support in the home is not only important bur necessary for our families. Without your continued emotional and monetary support, families in our community would not receive the support and equipment in their homes that are needed to make our children live more comfortable and better lives.
With Love & Gratitude,
Rachel
