NSSRA is one of the premier programs in Chicago’s northern suburbs for children, teens
and adults with special needs. Each year NSSRA welcomes new participants of every age and
background into our programs and community, and we are committed to providing quality recreation services
that enrich their lives and give them a place to belong.
This past year your financial assistance was invaluable. Due to your generosity we were able to provide
scholarships for...
• 27 participants to attend 13 camps
• Participants to enjoy 51 Saturday programs, also providing weekend respite for their families
• Training 13 of our Special Olympics athletes in both team and individual sports
Even better, of the 84 participants that received scholarships from NSSRA Foundation, 50% were able to enroll
in programs that also included transportation. You can make an impact on the lives of people with disabilities,
right here in your community, with a tax exempt donation to NSSRA Foundation this holiday season.Visit our

We are proud of what we do and we would love to share more of our success stories with you. Join us at our
Shining Stars Banquet in April and our SWING Golf Outing next September. Be part of our team and join the
fun! Everything we do is possible because of the kindness of our community members.
Thank you for your support.
Truly, you warm our hearts!
