Since then we’ve welcomed in over 300 children and their families into our space for open gym time, classes, yoga and birthday parties. It’s been an incredible year and we are so grateful for the community’s support of our mission.
Our celebration starts February 17th with special vacation hours, a “Sensational Tweens” night, and raffle prizes that include a sensory basket, SenseAbility Gym mugs, and gift certificates for memberships. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the gym for $1/ticket or 12 tickets for $10.
We are also holding our first anniversary online fundraiser through our partners at Razoo. Click HERE to donate. All donations are tax deductible under the extent allowed by law. As always, 100% of the money raised goes directly back into SenseAbility Gym to cover operations and programming costs.
Thank you again for being a part of something special this year. We look forward to seeing you all in our second year.
Sincerely,
Tina and Alysia

One of our volunteers, Hopedale High School student Holly Johnston, is the author of a great holiday children’s book available just in time for Christmas!
“How Santa Gets Ready” tells the story of how Santa gets read for that “long long flight on the magical night before Christmas”. Four year old Joey tells his little sisters the story all about how Santa gets ready. The words and illustrations are perfect for young children and a great addition to the holiday story bookshelf.
