Description

Hello, I am writing to you on behalf of Goofy Gators, a Pennsylvania non-profit with the mission to enhance the lives of our children with autism and other special needs. Goofy Gators works on the strengths of our children to create a better future through social skills and family activities while providing plentiful community resources. We are asking you to consider supporting our non-profit, we are looking for sponsorship, grants and or donations (of any kind)

We are starting up our fundraising season and are asking for donations- here is our mission and a list of where your donation would be put to use- and of course your business would be listed in our thank you letter! Currently, we serve 200 children and their families, 60% of our participants are autistic children under the age of 12. We serve autistic individuals across the entire lifespan, currently our youngest participant is 2 years old and our eldest is 60 years of age. Goofy Gators’ programming   

We hold seasonal events and social gatherings such as: 

 Community Fashion Shows reach 100 children and their families through a community wide event. Your contribution includes support for venue rental, refreshment costs, clothing and costume expenses as well community awareness outreach and marketing. 

 

- Family Fun Days reach 200 children, their families and allies in the Bucks County and Philadelphia community. (Includes activities such as bouncy houses, face painting, food and games) -Monthly Sensory gyms are vital to serve and accommodate the sensory needs of children with sensory processing disorders, such as autism. In conclusion, the overall goal of our program is to enforce the understanding that individuals with autism can lead happy, filled, productive lives with proper support, community awareness and caregiver education. Overall, our program shows an increase in emotional regulation, basic conversation skills, nonverbal communication skills, perspective taking, initiating, responding, and maintaining social interactions. With support from The Better Life Foundation, with your contributions we will be able to enhance the lives of children with special needs and their families. 

 

-100% of your donation will make these workshops, monthly social skills groups, and special events possible!  

 

 

 

Thank you for your time and consideration
