Tree of Hope Results
When we began preparing for the 2011 Tree of Hope campaign, we decided to to share with our supporters the increasing need for services and supports throughout Champaign and Ford counties. With this decision made, we increased this year's goal to $125,000, an increase from last year's goal of $100,000.
While we did not quite make our goal, we are extremely pleased with the results of this year's campaign, as we did receive an increase in giving when compared to last year's efforts.
The 2011 Tree of Hope campaign raised an impressive $118,790.18!!
DSC is genuinely appreciative of the generosity of our community and fully realizes that because of your support we are able to continue our mission, "to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities by providing services and supports which enable them to live, work, learn and participate in their communities."
A huge thank you goes out to the Johnson family for being our 2011 Spokesfamily! Matthew, Kinetta, Zoe, Alexandria, Isabella and Isaiah were so passionate about sharing their family story with our community, providing insight into what it is like for a family to raise a child with a developmental disability. The Johnson's did a fantastic job highlighting Zoe's abilities and sharing the reality that we all have the right for an opportunity to use our abilities; some of us just need some additional support.
Thank you all for sharing your inspirational story with us!!
