Hello Everyone,

My name is DeAnn Dobbins. I am the proud mother to a Wonderful, Beautiful, very Capable, 29-year-old Special Needs Daughter. My Daughter Samantha is happy, healthy, and very friendly. She loves to hang out and socialize with her friends. My husband Mike and I decided to do more for people like our Samantha. Many Special Needs people of all ages in our community are benefiting from Activities and Sports all year round. We are currently serving over 300 families in our local pass area. We started DeAnn's PAASS Kids (Pass Area Activities Sports and Stuff for People with Special Needs) 19 years ago. We became a Non-Profit 501c3 Organization in 2020 and have been growing ever since. We know the need is there.

We started with a small Baseball team in 2006, and now it has become so much more. We are providing more Sports like Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Bowling and Swimming. We also offer other activities throughout the year like Crafts, Karaoke, Games, Bingo, Story Time, Movies, Parties, Parades and much more. We call it our "Rinky Dink" Operation because we are not professionals, but we are people who LOVE to Volunteer to do things for others, and have become a very loving, supportive community along the way. Meeting many wonderful people while doing this.

So, we need your help!!!

For the last 19 years we have been accumulating Sports Equipment, Craft Supplies, Party Supplies, Ice Chests, Tables & Chairs, Popcorn Machines and so much more. Many things we use for our group.

Our current situation to which we store all of our items, (here at our home), is no longer working out for us. We have outgrown our storage usage.

We are looking for Donations, Sponsors, and Investors to help us move into a bigger facility that is not only a Warehouse but has an Office with a Bathroom. It will accommodate our needs better while storing all our items.

No donation is too small. If you are able to help by sharing our story with everyone you know, we would greatly appreciate it.

Our Goal is $25,000 to help cover the costs for 6 months and added expenses. By achieving this goal, it will allow us to keep our items safe, clean, organized and secure for many years to come while continuing to provide fun Activities and Sports for All members in our local Special Needs Community.

We Thank you in advance for your consideration.

DeAnn, Mike, Samantha and ALL the DPK family members.
