Winter 2020 Foundation Report
2019 Holiday Appeal: We Are NSSRA
NSSRA is one of the premier programs in Chicago’s northern suburbs for children,
teens and adults with special needs. Likely you are already familiar with the important
work of NSSRA for our participants and in our communities, but many are not. We are
working to change that.
Beginning this winter, in conjunction with our 2019 Holiday Appeal, we are once
again launching a social media campaign to share the stories of belonging that
illustrate the rich community we have together, using #iamnssra. We encourage
everyone to join in, whether you are a participant or family member, donor, staff member,
partner agency or community member. Each of our stories tells an important piece of
the powerful narrative of NSSRA, and we want to help our friends and neighbors better
understand who we are and why we exist. Together, we are NSSRA.
So, this year, we are not only asking you to give, but to share.
We need your help to continue offering a wide variety of recreation programs, services
and accessible transportation for our participants, but also to help our communities
understand why this is important. For more information, visit www.nssra.org/iamnssra.
To give, head to www.nssrafoundation.org/donate.
