IMAGINE
that you are
a child confined inside your classroom, strapped into a
wheelchair while your classmates play outside during recess.
They have not invited you to join them because you cannot
navigate your wheelchair through the playground. You are being
denied the basic freedoms of childhood, and your peers may
even tease you because you are "different."
Sadly, the school district has identified more
than 15,000 children with disabilities right here in Charlotte,
North Carolina, that endure these heart-breaking obstacles in their
daily lives.
NOW envision that you are a child with mental
retardation who has just learned how to count by participating
in a movement education class with kids your own
age. Another child, your friend who has leg braces, is learning
to trust his body and express himself through movement in your
class.
Can this really happen? The answer is YES!
With the help of valued donors and friends, we are proud to
announce that Allegro Foundation is transforming the
lives of more than 480 children with disabilities in our
community each year. 15,000 children with disabilities in the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district are waiting to receive
Allegro's vital intervention, but we need your financial
support and the donation of your time and talents to teach
them!
