All Kids Deserve Friendship - F.U.N
Donation protected
Raising money for F.U.N - Families United in Newtown, a Connecticut based recreational foundation established to increase social opportunities for families of special needs children and promote Autism Awareness. All funds raised will go to supporting the organization's social events for children with special needs.
Acceptance. Understanding. Support. Socializing. FUN.
These key elements are craved by nearly everyone but not equally obtained by all.
It can be challenging for special needs children to make friends and interact socially, or to even find social opportunities where they are free to be themselves. That's where F.U.N - Families United in Newtown comes in.
Families United in Newtown was established by Linda and Duane Jones, who started fund raising in 2008 with a dream of providing recreational programs and respite for families with special needs children. One year later, following the tragic death of their son, Tyler, the program blossomed with the support of Newtown High School National Honors Society students. The students help to facilitate positive and fun connections for special needs kids as a peer-to-peer support system, so that parents can step back and kids can have fun with other kids. The group hosts regular social events.
This is a small grassroots organization and all funds raised go directly to the cause. Please support the organization through this Go Fund Me campaign, or purchase tickets for their annual benefit concert featuring children's show tunes with performances by YouTube sensation Jodi DiPiazza, local artists and performers. Or, consider doing both! https://familiesunitedinnewtown.org
