Our October Charity of the Month is one that is very dear to me personally. I have been a part of many non-profit organizations and charity events, but Shane's Inspiration is one of my favorites. Not only do they do wonderful things for families with all abilities, but they are simply a great bunch of people to be around!
The mission of Shane's Inspiration is to foster a bias-free world for children with disabilities through the creation of inclusive playgrounds and programs.
Shane's Inspiration was co-founded in 1998 by Tiffany Harris and her friends, Catherine Curry-Williams and Scott Williams in memory of their son, Shane Alexander. Shane's Inspiration has evolved into a widely recognized, international non-profit, creating Universally Accessible Playgrounds and programs that integrate children of all abilities socially, physically and emotionally, fostering acceptance, friendship and understanding. To date they have created 40 playgrounds, 3 in conjunction with the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic - Paralympic Games, as well as the first accessible playground in the country of Mexico.
Shane's Inspiration's full spectrum service programs work in partnership with municipalities, community groups and families to ensure the successful fruition of universally accessible playground. They are the only non-profit organization implementing full curriculum ability awareness educational programming that works in tandem with accessible playgrounds, creating a powerful global inclusionary awareness legacy which transforms the lives of thousands of children each year.
So please buy one of our teez, and a portion of all the sales in October goes to help support this wonderful organization. Stop by their website to see how else you can help. They need volunteers for their play dates and for their events. This is a very rewarding organization to work with. These children will amaze and move you, and the organizers will become family.
Warmest regards,
Allison Brockford
Managing Director
