That is why I was so excited to learn about The Friendship Foundation. The Friendship Foundation is a local charity that supports parents and families who have children and young adults with special needs by providing a safe, accepting, and inclusive environment where they can enjoy sports, art, music, and many other social programs with their peers. It is their belief that every person is precious and capable of love, connection, and friendship - and this is something I know to be true as well because of growing up with my Uncle Jimmy.

Your support will help play a huge part in providing friendship and inclusion for kids with special needs, as well as support critical education programs in our public schools.

With much love,
