Campus Enhancements

Fundraising Advisory Committee
The Tallassee Campus wants your ideas and suggestions to help us raise funds to support our students. We are developing a Fundraising Advisory Committee. If you are interested in serving on this committee, have any ideas, or would like to help, please contact Operations Administrator Ramona Heil-Norris.
 
Gymnasium Construction
When the Tallassee Campus opened August 17, 2005. Previously a church, sev-eral renovations had to be made before opening our doors to students. Our gymnasium is located where the sanctuary was previously. The construction of our gym has been a long process, from installing and leveling a floor to install-ing new walls and windows. It is still a work in progress. $50,000 is needed to complete this project.
 
Completion of Our Playground
As a complement to our gymnasium, our outdoor adaptive playground will offer our children an area to develop their physical skills and coordination. Thus, increasing their self confidence and ability to interact with others. Contributions to this project will be accompanied by a substantial grant from The Home Depot. $10,000 is needed to complete this project.
 
Hospital Admission Fund
When our children are admitted to the hospital, our trained staff can not be compensated for staying with them. However, few hospitals have staff trained to manage the behavioral issues our children face. This can be frightening to our children and frustrating for us and the admitting hospital. Contributions to this fund will be used to pay trained staff to stay with a hospitalized child. We are developing arrangements with the charitable foundations of several hospi-tals to match your contributions upon admission. We would like to maintain $3,000 in this fund.
