I’m very thankful that you think enough of me to come to my site and help me raise money for the Orange Grove Center. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how important Orange Grove is to the 700 people with intellectual disabilities who take advantage of our services on a daily basis. So I won’t bother explaining why it merits your support. Instead, I would rather tell you why I believe in the worthiness of this program and the people who are a part of it.

I think I could best summarize it by saying that Orange Grove is a 54 year old miracle that is even more amazing today than it was in 1953. Against all odds, we provide services that few believed were possible. When nothing existed for our population, Orange Grove was birthed and flourished through the raw determination of people who believed that God would provide through the charity of ordinary people. Orange Grove has remained true to its mission and has never lost sight of its fundamental objective; to recognize, support and celebrate the individuals who so desperately need our services.

Please help me achieve my personal goal of raising $1,000.00 toward our overall Capital Campaign goal of $4,775,000.00. This campaign will help us offer new and exciting services, improve our existing facilities and services and to develop new specialized programs for people with autism. We are well on our way to achieving our campaign goal.  I would love to count YOU in the number of people who make this happen.

If you would like more information about Orange Grove or the improvements this campaign will create, please go to www.orangegrovecenter.org.

Thanks again for helping us realize this goal.
