The event was attended by approximately 80 guests and raised $28,000 in support of our programs. Funds generated from this event directly supported our ability to provide meaningful, activity-based learning experiences for adults with special needs without increasing costs to our members or their families. Through this support, we continued to offer our core services, including our weekday day program, weekend social events, and travel club. These programs are designed to promote independence, social engagement, and overall health and wellness among participants. While the fundraiser itself was primarily a community-building it contributed significantly to our mission by ensuring continued access to structured programming that fosters life skills, physical activity, and social development. As a result, more than 200 program participants benefited from consistent services made possible by this funding. We hosted another large-scale event through our ongoing monthly social program, club k.on october 25, 2025, this halloween-themed event was attended by approximately 110 guests. Tickets were priced at $35 per person; however, the event was operated on a cost-recovery basis, with proceeds covering expenses such as meals, beverages, entertainment, staffing, and doctor. Although club k did not generate net revenue, it directly supported our exempt purpose by providing a structured, inclusive social environment that promotes social and emotional development. Events like club k are essential to our mission, as they offer individuals with special needs opportunities to build peer relationships, practice social skills, and engage in community-based recreational activities in a safe and supportive setting.
