Fundraising Tools – What Do My Donation Dollars Do?

I walk to strengthen my community.

Countdown to the Marathon:

Via of the Lehigh Valley provides quality programs and services for children and adults with disabilities across the Lehigh Valley.  The money you raise helps Via provide leadership, support, opportunities and resources for people with disabilities so that they may be independent, productive and enjoy full lives within the community.

Here’s a sample of what your fundraising dollars can do:

• $1,000 helps underwrite one month of job coaching to help an individual with a disability find a job in our community.
• $500 provides a week of career exploration and fun for a teen with a disability in Via’s Teen Summer Experience.
• $250 helps underwrite 3 ½ hours of physical, occupational or speech therapy for a child.
• $125 provides three adults the opportunity to connect to their community by participating in a recreational activity like watching a ball game, going to dinner or catching a movie with friends.
• $60 will send one sibling of a child with special needs to Sibshops, a 6-week workshop celebrating the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of kids with special needs.
• $25 buys a special switch used to adapt toys and allows a child with disabilities to play independently.
