Support Our Mission

Fundraisers & Events

Proceeds will be directed towards assisting low-income families in accessing essential resources, including government funding, Medicaid, and waiver programs for their children with developmental disabilities. We invite you to join us in supporting this vital cause, as we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to lead their best life, regardless of age or cognitive abilities.

Together, let’s advocate with kindness and create a meaningful impact in our community!

About The Friendship Studio

The Friendship Studio is not your typical community day program. Designed for individuals with developmental disabilities ages 18 and older, our program focuses on arts, music, community engagement, activities of daily living for independent skills, work readiness, and overall wellness.

It’s a joyful, creative, wellness‑centered space where adults can express themselves, build confidence, strengthen independence, and thrive.

Funds raised will support the launch of this innovative program, including:

  • Classroom supplies
  • Art and music materials
  • Furnishing our mock apartment
  • Transportation (bus)

Come enjoy a fun, interactive night while helping us bring The Friendship Studio to life for adults in our community. Your support makes a lasting impact — and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
