Last year on July 25, 2005 we raised over $90,00 in profit.
We were able to make contributions to several dedicated and
respected organizations all sharing an ongoing committment
to improving the education and lives of Deaf children. These
organizations included:
- The Rhode Island School for the Deaf, Providence, RI
- EDCO Program for Deaf Chuldren, Newton, MA
- The Learning Center for Deaf Children, Framingham, MA
- Sacred Heart Church for the Deaf, Newton, MA
- Easter Seals National Office (Endowment for the Deaf)
- National Education of Assistance Dog Services (NEADS)
We have also initiated communication among several southeastern
Deaf schools and have established a Friendship Cup Activity
Program. Some of the past and current events include:
- An evening with Jim Craig, 1980 Gold Medal Champion
In October 2005, Jim gave a heartfelt motivational speech
to over 300 Deaf students, families and staff members. Photography
Associates provided instant photos with the participants
and Mr. Craig and all enjoyed the hit movie "Miracle
on Ice". Big thanks to Jim Craig as well as Rick and
Helene Pace.
