NSSRA Foundation SWING Golf Outing 2017 Holiday Appeal We raised more than $59,000 for NSSRA Foundation thanks to our sponsors, donors and golfers! 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. These funds will provide scholarships for children, teens and adults with disabilities who participate in NSSRA's year-round recreation activities and will additionally provide a significant contribution to the NSSRA Foundation Transportation Fund. Visit www.nssrafoundation.org to view photos and video from the day. Everything we do is possible because of the kindness of community members like you. We need your help to continue offering a wide variety of recreation programs, as well as high- quality, accessible transportation for our participants.
