Community. Safe Sensory Play. Acceptance. Support.
Those of you who have walked through the doors of SenseAbility Gym know that these are the words we live by here. We created this gym space to provide a safe and fun play area where children can be themselves and parents can connect with one another.
You are the reason that we have been successful in our mission these past 15 months since we opened our doors to this community.
But now we need a little more.
On May 1st, we kicked off our first ever “Match Madness” Fundraising Campaign. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Harold and Marcia Rhodes, every dollar raised between now and July 31st will be matched – up to $15,000!
We could raise enough to cover our expenses for an entire year.
But why are Harold and Marcia supporting us in this way? It’s because of all of you.
Here’s what Harold had to say:

Marcia and I are often asked why we support the SenseAbility Gym, and why we are now doing this $15,000 matching gift program. We do not have children with autism or special needs. In fact, before meeting Tina and Alysia’s families, our lives have never been directly affected by any one having autism.
But that’s just our point. For children with special needs to feel accepted and understood, people must get involved. We are all one community here…The smiles and the laughter coming from the kids and their parents show us how our financial commitment to SenseAbility Gym makes a real difference every day…

Their generosity means that every dollar counts in this campaign. $5 becomes $10. $10 becomes $20. $100 becomes $200. Your contributions are how we’re going to get to that $15,000 donation match.
