Your Gift Helps Someone Attend SPARC

SPARC members are ending 2015 on a high note because 2016 features one of our biggest expansions ever.

Our learning and community inclusion goals are unique. We pay with through a low membership fee and through grants and charitable donations. We believe that everyone has the right to a fulfilling life.  Not everyone always has the resources to  pay for those services, which is why we ask for your help.

Just $100 pays for someone to attend SPARC in their community for an entire week. A recurring gift of $30 provides a class session about life skills or education skills. We'll even bundle individual gifts together to maximize their impact.

Besides lifelong learning, our members have begun practicing adapted yoga and mindfulness. Both help someone whose physical world has other constraints. 

We are also working on raising money for art supplies and buying a tabletop convection oven. The oven will help us practice independent living skills like healthy cooking.  But we can't show someone how to cook for themselves if they can't attend SPARC that week.

That's why your gift today is so important.

We have opened a total of three facilities in Virginia. We want to continue working with communities to help adults with disabilities. To do that, we need your help today.
