Thank You, Spire, for Supporting the GRADS Program!
DGCKids is grateful for Spire awarding a generous grant to support our GRADS (Group Recreation and Developmental Support) program in Summer 2024. Their investment in children with visual impairments helped them travel, climb, ski, sing, cycle, and create lifelong friendships.
The GRADS program serves children aged 6-18, focusing on empowering them to grow and thrive. Each participant worked with their parents and our dedicated staff to set meaningful goals in the areas of social skills, independence, and community participation.
Thanks to Spire’s generosity, we can continue offering these transformative opportunities to children and their families. Together, we are shaping a future where every child has the tools and confidence to explore their potential and actively participate in their communities.
On behalf of our staff, families, and especially the children in our GRADS program, thank you, Spire, for believing in the mission of DGCKids.
GRADS kids travel to Kansas City (Summer 2024) to practice navigating with their canes and exploring away from home!
