On November 29th (Giving Tuesday) we are hoping to raise awareness and $1500 for Balance's Children's 2023 Summer Recreation program.

This year we want to highlight the positive impact that summer camps have on all children by having you share personal summer recreation stories with your social network.

How to participate in our Giving Tuesday Campaign:

1) Change your profile photo on Facebook (or your preferred social media platform) to a picture of you or your child enjoying a summer recreation activity.
2) Copy the following text and add it to your photo's caption or in a social media post: I'm donating to Balance's Children's Summer Recreation program because ____________. Join me in donating $10 to help ensure that kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Ozaukee County get to enjoy summer camp just like everyone else. https://givebutter.com/Balancegivingtuesday #givingtuesday #makingmemories #balancesgivingtuesdaycampaign #balancesummerrec #supportingkidswithIDD

Why $1,500?

$1,500 covers the cost of one day of Balance's 2023 Children's Summer Recreation program. One day might not seem like a lot, but we hope your stories will illustrate how even just one day can have a massive positive impact on a child with IDD.

Want to get competitive? You can create a team on our Givebutter Giving Tuesday campaign page to see who can raise the most money!

"Balance has been such a tremendous blessing to our family! From the time that Tim came to our apartment to introduce himself to Aaron, and Mariah years ago; Balance has proven to be a valuable aspect of their lives even up to today! The team at Balance has made our children feel like they matter; that they are valued, and that they deserve to have a quality life. Our children know that when they attend Balance programs they will have fun social interaction! Without Balance programs, our kids would literally just be sitting at home most days doing nothing. Balance gives them something to look forward to; it builds their confidence, and inspires them to be all that they can be!"

- Darrice Roberson, mother of six children, three of whom have Autism and are/or have been participants in Balance's Summer Recreation Program.
