15th Anniversary Bowl-a-Thon
Founded in 2006, we provide day programs for adults with severe disabilities. Our club members have complex diagnoses and represent the 1% of our population who require personal support for all aspects of daily life. Thanks to public – private partnerships with local jurisdictions we offer our services at four community centers and a church. We have broad support from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and Arlington County Parks & Recreation. SPARC has been recognized by both counties for providing services that fill a gap where there is a great need for adults who would otherwise not be well served.
Without SPARC, our club members would be reduced to sitting in a wheelchair or bed all day long. Justin, one of our first club members explains it best. He says, “I was active and involved during school. But after I transitioned from school, I did not fit into any other programs. I aged out of life at 22.”
Instead of being subjected to what our families refer to as “human warehousing,” our participants enjoy chair yoga, Zumba, art and music therapy, leisure learning (personal skills, peer to peer support, counseling, current events, games, vocational skills training, cooking, photography, gardening and much more!) Our model is called “circuit train the brain” wherein we offer stations and options enabling our participants to self-direct their day.
On November 13, 2021, we are hosting a bowl-a-thon to raise funds to support our work.
Please consider joining us for a fun family night by becoming a sponsor or donating an item to our silent auction to raise vital funds to support our programs. This event is crucial as we suffered losses due to the pandemic. Due to COVID, we lost almost $5,000 per month in revenue. Since February, that is an $85,000 loss. The PPP loans helped mitigate that loss, but we still have a $25,000 deficit to make up. In addition to the financial losses incurred due to COVID, every year we have to raise over $90,000 to cover the fees for those who have no resources to participate.
If you or someone you know would like to help, please donate at Thank You! | SPARC Solutions.
We hope to close the gap with our Bowl-a-Thon on November 13th! Please register today and support the programs we love! Register by going to: Bowl-a-Thon 2021 | SPARC Solutions
