Support YAI This Weekend

As I mentioned back in April, my kids and I are raising money for this Saturday's Central Park Challenge to benefit YAI, a stellar New York City non-profit that provides a vast array of programs to tens of thousands of people with disabilities and developmental delays (ranging from physical impairments to autism spectrum disorders to Down's Syndrome). I am not only a parent whose child(ren) have received Early Intervention through YAI, but I have also been a board member of one of YAI's divisions since before I even became a mother. It is an incredible organization that provides so much hope to families and, like many non-profits, it is suffering under the current economic conditions. If you would like to help me and my children towards our fundraising goal of $1000 this year to support people with disabilities and their families, click here to visit my personal fundraising page (with a cute picture of my son); if you would like more general information about the Central Park Challenge, please click here. Thank you for your support!

p.s. I just got an e-mail from YAI's CEO that they are only $149,000 away from their goal of raising $1.4 million! Please help us close the gap!
