We are fortunate to be on the board of a tax exempt 501(c)3 charitable foundation called All Schools Special Needs. Our Foundation is so excited to be running our54th annual golf outing at the beautiful Blue Hills Golf Club followed by our Dinner/Tricky Tray event at the Florentine Gardens in River Vale, NJ and I hope you can help. Our event will be held on Monday, August 26th 2019. Eight years ago we started fundraising to help local children within the Ridgefield Park, New Jersey school system with Autism gain valuable tools to help subsidize their underfunded classrooms. Today our organization has expanded far beyond the autistic children to include all children with special needs in any of the Ridgefield Park Schools. Since that time, we have raised over $300,000.

With the funds raised we have purchased the items below:

 15 Smart Boards

 35 iPads with apps

 A special playground area with Sensory equipment

 A flower and vegetable garden  $1000 Scholarship to graduating senior

 Class trips to Turtle Back Zoo

 Jump On In, a facility that has jumping equipment that allows kids to exercise while playing And that is just the highlight reel, there really is so much more.

We have a clear vision of what we plan to establish in the future: A home for these children as they become adults; A working place for these kids to go daily when the age of 21 comes and all benefits end and they can no longer be in school in the great programs they are in. Our board members are realist and we know this is no small feat. This is why we are kicking up our fund raising efforts again with our annual golf outing. Our golf tournament will fund our longer term aspirations and goals of creating a place for these young adults to go. The event will be a lot of fun, there will be great people and prizes and all for a great cause. I hope you can consider a making donation. A monetary donation will help us the most but we can also accept a prize, a gift basket or a gift card as a donation that we could raffle.
