IMAGINE being strapped into a wheelchair and not being able to move, or being a child with mental retardation who cannot count! Think how you would feel if you were afraid of the people sitting next to you, or were excluded from the playground while other kids played. Doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Well, there are children right here in our city who experience this every day.

Now. . .picture children with disabilities included with other children, learning and having fun. Kids who use wheelchairs maintaining and increasing mobility and self-esteem by strengthening their bodies. Helping a child with mental retardation or Down syndrome learn how to count by participating in a movement class with kids the same age.

Adolescents with leg braces express themselves though movement and learn to trust their bodies; laughing and showing off with friends. Can this happen? The answer is YES! With the help of valued donors and friends, we a re proud to announce that Allegro Foundation is dramatically changing the lives of more than 400 children with disabilities in our community each year. There are 15,000 children in the Charlotte Mecklenburg with disabilities, and we can serve more than 400 children yearly with your help.
