Toasting 10 Years on the 10th!
Connecting Point of Park Cities (CPPC), a premier day program for adults with disabilities, is celebrating 10 amazing years, toasting its donors and volunteers, on September 10th 6pm, at Communities Foundation of Texas.
Founding board members and co-chairs of this event, JoAnn Ryan and Nancy Himes, each have an adult child who has attended CPPC since it opened 10 years ago. Himes said, “it’s been an incredible and heartfelt journey to help CPPC grow, to provide an engaging day program and to witness the generous support of donors and volunteers.”
Ryan and Himes are very grateful for the countless hours the CPPC Board Members have given over the years and to build CPPC into a thriving, caring and happy place.
Located at UPUMC the past 2 years, and at Central Christian Church the 8 years prior, Connecting Point of Park Cities serves those with a range of disabilities from 14 zip codes at an affordable rate and provides an array of educational and social experiences Monday through Friday, year-round.
The concept of CPPC originated from JoAnn Ryan after her son experienced a debilitating ski injury in high school and she saw the need for a local program as a continuation of the great special needs program at Highland Park High School.
Ryan said, “It has been an amazing experience to see the community unite to bring CPPC to life. I am truly thankful to everyone who has contributed to our journey. From those who joined our board in the early days and helped shape our model, to the Kershaw’s who headlined our first fundraiser before we even had a staff in place, as well as all the other celebrities who later lent their support, along with our generous donors, dedicated staff, volunteers, parents, and of course, the incredible teammates who remind us daily why we do this, it was definitely a community effort. I hope they will join us so we can raise a toast to all of them on September 10th!”
Open to all in the community who have supported or wish to see what we have been up to our first 10 years at CPPC! RSVP appreciated Http://bit.ly/3SzDwqP.
