This year, clients at each OARC’s four day program and vocational sites worked with the staff to create their own “Another Way” campaigns. The mission and purpose was to support the unmet needs of other developmentally disabled clients like themselves. The employees and clients at each site came up with many creative themes and idea for their
Another Way fund-raising campign, including one site that decided on a “Wheel of Fortune” activity. Clients and staff could donate $1.00 to get a turn to spin the wheel and receive a prize. Many staff and clients gave more than $1.00. This event raised more than $800.00 for Another Way! In addition, the Diversified Industries Consumer Advocacy Committee voted to give an additional $500 from thier Client Fund. As a reslut of OPARC’s agency wide fund-raising efforts, a total of $1522.00 was raised for Another Way and IRC clients!!
