What’s Your Dream? 

Erie Gives 2024 – August 13, 2024

 

Have you ever dreamed of making someone else’s dreams come true? Erie Gives Day, Aug. 13 is your chance to put wings on the dream of an adult or child in Erie County with an intellectual disability, autism or behavioral health challenge.  

Our children, adults and families have interests and aspirations. Like you, they dream of first-time experiences and hobbies that bring them joy, a job where they are valued and life-long learning to reach their full potential. Your gift can remove barriers and create opportunities.  

A gift to Barber National Institute will fund: 

• Community exploration for inclusion and self-worth 

• Employment skill development for independence and confidence 

• Expanded social opportunities for laughter and friendship 

• Family support services for bonding and peace of mind 

• Technology for communication and mobility 

Erie Gives Day, Tuesday, Aug. 13 is the one day that everyone can be a philanthropist. 

Gifts made on this annual day of giving are matched by corporate donors which means your gift of $25 or more has the power to fund a dream. 

We are proud to tell our donors that, on average, more than X% of every dollar donated is used to meet expenses for programs serving our children and adults.   

In the words of our founder Dr. Gertrude A. Barber, “All things are possible if we set a goal, persevere and put wings on our dreams.” 

Put wings on someone’s dream this Erie Gives Day with a gift to Barber National Institute.
