My personal message:

Hello,

Our family will be taking part in the Walk in the Park for Abilis on October 19th to raise money for Abilis(formerly ARC) and we welcome your support. We would love for you to join us at the event, but if you can't please consider sponsoring us online.

You can make a donation by clicking the link next to the picture on this. It's really easy - you can donate online by credit card and receive a record of your donation. All donations are secure and sent directly to Abilis. You can also send a check payable to "Abilis" directly to us at home.

Abilis is a not-for-profit organization that, for 55 years, has worked to build a responsive, accessible and innovative system of community supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families in lower Fairfield County, Connecticut. 

Thanks to generous support from people like you .....

  • 1000 families will receive support and services
  • over 550 infants and toddlers will receive 10,000 early intervention services
  • 150 families will get the break they need by receiving respite care services
  • over half the children who graduate from Abilis' Birth to Three program will have received the boost they need  and no longer require special education services
  • 70 adults will enjoy living in their own home or apartment with the support they need
  • 110 adults will participate in meaningful work experiences including competitive employment
  • children and adults will enjoy a variety of recreation and leisure activities in their community with the support they need

We hope you'll respond positively to this request so together we can help people with special needs reach their potential and live fulfilling lives as productive, participating members of their community.

Thanks and best wishes,

Bob, Kathy,  Gregory, Danielle and Julia
