Bill & Ria recently embarked on a mission to raise awareness and research funding for the +15 campaign. (The +15 campaign (through the Down Syndrome Research & Treatment Foundation) funds research to improve learning, memory & speech for individuals with Down syndrome.)
Bill & Ria raised $2211 for campaign putting theta fundraising efforts in 1st place and winning an iPad that will be donated to their son Matthew's special needs class.
Bill & Ria raised monies through yard sales, pretzel sales & donations with the help of wonderful volunteers.
One person can make a difference!
Lilliespad.com has some great videos to see children using the iPad and how it is a great resource for learning.
iPad Help is a list of resources for parents to seek funding for an iPad for their child.
Thanks Shawn! We feel blessed and fortunate that it was the right time and set of circumstances that allowed us to put ourselves in a position to raise research money. Thanks to all of you who encouraged us, showed your support, and sent positive thoughts our way during the fundraising period! http://billandria.blogspot.com/2011/06/wish-upon-ipad.html
