FUNdational Builders
Join our community of FUNdation Builders by sponsoring a child for one season of Therapy & Fun! Cost can be prohibitive for some families, but your sponsorship builds the foundation needed to create access to therapies for children who would otherwise go without.
2025 Program Impact
In 2025, our Therapy & Life Skills program proudly supported 15 participants as they built critical skills for independence. Across our combined summer camp and life skills programs, we meet vital community needs and help families navigate unique systemic and social hurdles:
- Payer Sources & Accessibility: We believe every child deserves access to high-quality care. To support our diverse community, 54% of our summer program participants utilize Medicaid, 43% utilize Commercial Insurance, and 4% utilize Health Exchange.
- Supporting Foster & Adoptive Families: 18% of our summer program participants have a history in Foster Care, and 16% are Adopted.
- Overcoming Social Isolation: 64% of caregivers reported that they must avoid social or community events out of worry that their child will be labeled disruptive or unwelcome. Additionally, 45% avoid events due to worries about bullying.
Many of our families are below the poverty line, with exacerbated financial hardships due to having a family member with a disability. Some families qualify to have Therapy & Fun covered under insurance, but for those who don’t, we can keep the cost to $1500 out-of-pocket on average. Your donation of $1500 would allow us to lower the price for one family in need.
FUNdation Builders get access to exclusive updates, success stories, and gratitude videos from sponsored children, a Therapy & Fun shirt, and an opportunity to be a part of our final day celebration!
Join the exclusive group of supporters who make a significant difference in a child’s life. Reach out to us at operations@therapycenter.org for more information.
