Spring Into Action - A Great Celebration!!!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this years' Spring Into Action fundraising campaign. We raised over $7,000 to support children to receive services including Music therapy, Feeding Therapy, Social skills, and Occupational therapy!
The Spring Into Action picnic at Lacy Park was a great celebration. It was a beautiful venue for lunch, crafts, and wonderful performances.
Thank You Everyone!
Thank you to our parent speakers: Victor Voisard and Jenny Salazar for sharing their heartfelt thoughts about the PCDA services their children have received. Thank you to the children who shared their awesome talent: Nicole, Luca, Adam, Simon, Alan, Pranav, and Alessandro! And Thank you to all our volunteers who made it all possible!
