Thank you for visiting the Zoe's Race Fundraising Page

On September 10, the third annual HowardCenter Zoe's Race at Oakledge Park in Burlington, Vermont, will help raise money for families who receive support from HowardCenter who need to renovate their homes to make them accessible for their children.

In 2009, I started worked this fundraiser with Howard Center in my daughter’s honor. As many of you know, when Zoe was about 18-months-old, she had a near drowing in our backyard pond. The accident left her very disabled and in a wheelchair.

When we began to renovate our home for Zoe, we found that making our home accessible was more expensive than we could ever have imagined. I was really surprised that there was no state or federal money available to help with the project. For families that have children in wheelchairs, homes with stairs, small doorways and bathrooms, and other structural barriers make every day more challenging than it may already be.

Since 2009, Zoe’s Race has raised over $40,000 and helped 6 families locally with children served by HowardCenter Developmental Disabilities.  We've renovated entrances to homes and many bathrooms and have improved the quality of life for these children and their families.

Your participation in this fundraiser will make a priceless difference in a family’s ability to meet the daily needs of their child in their home.
