Welcome to Clothed in Compassion, Corp.'s 3rd annual benefit auction!

Clothed in Compassion, Corp. (CiC) is the first non-profit pediatric [occupational] therapy clinic in Reno County. Founded by Dr. Megan Bartley, OTD, OTR/L to meet a healthcare gap in her hometown, CiC provides accessible, specialized care that meets families where they are—regardless of financial circumstances or ability. We currently offer pediatric occupational, speech, and play therapy services.

"I firmly believe all families should have access to holistic care that meets them where they are, and reminds them in the way they are seen and served, that they are loved." -Dr. Megan Bartley

We officially opened our doors to the community on October 31st, 2022. We are currently serving more than 60 families on a weekly basis, and host a series of sensory-friendly events & camps throughout the year, such as our Sensory & Santa Christmas event.

Every October we host a silent auction - our biggest fundraiser of the year - to raise awareness of our work, provide an opportunity to talk about disability supports, and raise critical funds that allow us to continue pursuing our mission: providing local holistic, affordable, individualized pediatric therapy services for families in Reno county and beyond. Clothed in Compassion, Corp. provides the only [non-profit] specialized outpatient pediatric therapy services in Hutchinson, Kansas. There is a deficit in access to these necessary services for our children and families in Reno County. The nearest equivalent options are in Wichita, nearly 60 miles away and operate ‘for-profit.’ Local schools are plagued with individualized education plans (IEPs) and behavior support challenges. Furthermore, parents with differently-abled children are voicing the lack of parental & community support in our area. One parent of a child under our care reports, “We were driving to Wichita four days a week to receive the services our little one needs. Now I only have to drive to Wichita once a week because we can receive occupational therapy, sensory-based feeding, and speech services at Clothed in Compassion, Corp.” All proceeds from our auction will support the following initiatives that go beyond our weekly occupational therapy, speech therapy, and play therapy services:

-Scholarship fund (for families to receive life-changing services if finances are a significant barrier)

-CiC Summer Camp Scholarships (small-group-based, sensory-safe, specialized camps for children with varying abilities)

-New, evidence-based equipment for our therapists and children

-Sensory-Safe Community Events (We host a series of sensory-safe events throughout the year to provide an alternate experience for children with different abilities to participate in beloved cultural traditions, i.e. Pal-entines, Egg Hunt, Pumpkin Patch, and Sensory & Santa)

-Hosting trainings for various organizations (i.e. Saint Francis, school districts) on supporting children with early childhood trauma, regulation strategies in the classroom, and supporting children with disabilities

-Supplies for Equipped, our community-based book study that supports caregivers, professionals, and others in their journey alongside individuals with disabilities

-Continuing education opportunities / conferences for staff

-Involvement in community events (i.e. Third Thursday, United.Connect.Read, The Hub)

-Other upcoming initiatives (i.e. "Try Before You Buy: Specialized Equipment Trial Program" where families can trial sensory / adaptive equipment before committing to buy it for their child.)

Funds raised will allow CiC to continue providing accessible, specialized care.

Every dollar matters. Thank you for your support!
