On behalf of the Alberta AdaptAbilities Association I would like to extend my gratitude for your contribution to our First Annual Walk 4 Abilities, which was held on Sunday June 28th, 2009. Our two main objectives for this Walk were to raise awareness about the services we offer children with special needs and to help raise financial funds for our programs so that we are able to continue growing and creating Success for Life! I am proud to announce that we were able to raise close to $5,000 (which was our goal this year) and we received great community support, with an overall tally of 72 walkers.

I wanted to say a special Thank You to all of our Walk participants, our volunteers, our staff members, our corporate sponsors, the McKernan Community League, Eileen Chan, Kristy Hitchen and Denise Armstrong for sharing their stories with us, everyone who donated and raised pledges and finally Alexandra Griesbach for assisting me with organizing the Walk!

Due to your contribution we are able to enhance our programs and create a more enriching life experience for our children. The children and teens affected by your donations can now get involved in fun and enjoyable goal-directed activities directed at the core of their development.

On behalf of our children and AdaptAbilities we would like to thank you tremendously for the opportunity you have created for them and for your continuous support. We were thrilled and humbled with the support we have received from the community at large; we look forward to our Second Annual Walk 4 Abilities which will be taking place sometime next summer. Please make sure to keep checking our website for more information as the date approaches.

THANK YOU,
