Thank you to the wonderful families of the children featured in the photographs on our website. These children are the reason we exist and strive to do more. We appreciate you sharing your child's beautiful face and spirit with us. They continue to be our inspiration!
Our nonprofit and support group were featured in the Children's Museum of Tacoma's 2013 "Playing Under the Stars" fundraiser video. The fundraising focus was how the museum can further build their relationship with and better serve the special needs community. We are proud to be a part of those efforts and thank the museum for letting our Executive Director, Angela Fish, speak at their gala immediately following the viewing of this video. We hope our efforts can help to further their work, and ours as well. Please watch the video below to learn about the positive impact we are helping to make on the Pierce County special needs community through our partnership.
