QuarterMania 2019

QuarterMania 2019

Clear space on your calendar! QuarterMania 2019 is just around the corner.

On Thursday, July 18, Sara’s Garden will be hosting its fifth annual QuarterMania FUNdraiser. Proceeds from this full-filled event will benefit our school for children with special needs, New Horizons Academy. New Horizons Academy at Sara’s Garden provides innovative educational, intervention and therapy services to over 100 children from over 20 school districts across Northwest Ohio. There will be many area vendors to shop from. The event will feature auctions, raffles, and 50/50 drawings.

Event Date: Thursday, July 18
Event Location: The Hope Center at Sara’s Garden, Wauseon, Ohio
Event Time: Doors open at 5:00, Auction starts at 6:30
Paddles: $3 each or two for $5

What is a QuarterMania?

If you are like us when we first heard of this, you are probably wondering, “What in the world is a QuarterMania event?”

A QuarterMania is a cross between an auction and a raffle where people ‘bid’ to win a product/prize of goods donated from local businesses and various home businesses participating in the event. Bids on these new items range from 1 to 4 quarters. There are usually between 40 and 60 items to auction during a QuarterMania.

When you arrive

When you arrive at the event, you will register and pick out a paddle (or several) with a number on each that is used for your individual bidding on the items you want to try to win. Paddles are $3 each or two for $5. All proceeds from paddle sales are donated directly to Sara’s Garden. 50/50 tickets are also available at this time.

How the auction works

The auctioneer begins by holding up a product and telling a little bit about the highlights and then tells everyone how much the item is going for – between 1 and 4 quarters. If you would like to bid on that item, you put the corresponding number of quarters in the collection pot then hold up your paddle(s) and wait for your number to be called.

Once all the bids are in – the auctioneer randomly selects a number. If your lucky paddle number is called and you have placed a bid , you WIN that item! Now, if you didn’t bid – you just say “no bid” and the auctioneer will re-shuffle the numbers and continue calling a number until someone who has placed a bid and is holding their paddle up wins.

It’s that simple, and it’s a load of fun!

That’s not all!

In addition to the biddings, there are 50/50 tickets and other raffle drawings going on throughout the evening. Tickets for raffle items will be $1 each or six for $5. Also, the participating businesses have a lots of specials as well as cash & carry items at their tables. Please stop by and support these individuals as these events would not be possible without them.

Food, desserts, and beverages will be available for a free will donation.

So… if you are ready for a fun-filled evening for a GREAT CAUSE, grab your QUARTERS and SOME FRIENDS and be there!

2019 SPECIALized Summer Sports Program

2019 SPECIALized Summer Sports Program

Every child has the right to enjoy the fun of playing sports, the joy of teamwork, the achievement of hitting a ball, making a goal, or crossing the finish line. Whether part of a team sport or enjoying an athletic activity geared for individuals, all children can benefit from the camaraderie, self-esteem, sense of belonging and accomplishment that comes from playing sports. This includes children with special needs.

Last year, we partnered with the Defiance Area YMCA to develop a sports-based summer programs for kids ages 9-18 called: SPECIALized Sports ~ Fun for all disABILITIES. This summer, the weekly sports schedule will be as follows:

  • Kickball: Wednesday, June 5th
  • Basketball: Wednesday, June 12th
  • T-Ball: Wednesday, June 19th
  • Soccer: Wednesday, June 26th
Click HERE to download a copy of the registration form and waiver.

The kids (and volunteers) had a great time last summer learning, practicing and playing the various sports each week. Click on the videos below to watch highlights from last year’s SPECIALized Summer Sports Program.

Many times, low self-esteem and a lack of confidence can plague children with disabilities. These week-long sports camps will utilize games such as basketball, soccer, and baseball to help enhance and strengthen their self-confidence, gross motor skills, social and communication abilities, as well as improve their emotional health and well-being. Being part of a team can help kids bond and develop friendships outside of sports.

Gross Motor Skills The ability to perform controlled movements that require large muscles is known as gross motor skills. Movements that involve using the large muscles include walking, running, crawling or jumping. Often, children with special needs lack the ability to perform physical movements properly. When disabled children participate in regular physical activity, it enhances their motor skills by increasing their strength, coordination, flexibility and balance.

Communicating and Socializing Disabled children frequently miss out on social activities, impeding their ability to better their communication skills. Participation in extracurricular activities can overcome this obstacle, providing them with the ability to engage in social interactions, develop friendships and initiate social skills.

Self-Esteem and Academics Children who suffer with disabilities often struggle with a lack of self-esteem. They frequently will compare themselves with their able-bodied peers, giving them a decreased sense of self-worth. Recreational participation promotes their self-concept, self-esteem and self-worth, as well as their body awareness. Many children will also show improvements in their academics. The confidence that is gained from the ability to attain success in sports will make them feel like they are capable of achieving almost anything.

Emotional Benefits There are some major issues that many disabled youth will at some point experience. Having disabled children take part in a recreational activity can aid in preventing different emotional conditions, including negative behaviors, depression, trouble adjusting to certain situations, stress and anxiety. Providing them with a certain amount of activity can assist their bodies and help them to function optimally.

We are very excited about what these summer sports programs have to offer and can’t wait to start. You won’t want to miss it!

Exciting #GivingTuesdayNWO Update

Exciting #GivingTuesdayNWO Update

Celebrate generosity at this unique community event!

Sara’s Garden is so blessed to be part of an amazing event Everence® will host on #GivingTuesday. This night of generosity will support a number of local charities.

Bringing the global phenomenon of #GivingTuesday to our community, the #GivingTuesdayNWO event on November 27 will feature 14 local nonprofits sharing their missions and how they make a difference in the region. Starting at 5 p.m. at Northwest State Community College, the event will include stories from local nonprofits about their work and upcoming projects, a silent auction and many opportunities to give to any nonprofit – local or national.

To help kick off the giving season, every dollar attendees give at the event will be matched up to $500,000 by generous local families and businesses. All money raised for Sara’s Garden at this event will go towards the creation of an indoor playground space for our students at New Horizons Academy.

“This event gives people the ability to make a big impact in Northwest Ohio,” said Shari Beck, Everence Financial Advisor who is hosting the event. “The organizations, families, and businesses supporting the event are excited to come together as a community and give back. The donation match from this night will help change lives for the people these organizations strive to support. I’m thankful that the community is coming together to support this event.”

Seven years ago, the first #GivingTuesday united individuals, communities and organizations to encourage and celebrate generosity worldwide. Following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the goal of the day is to inspire people to collaborate and give back.

Please pre-register for the event at Everence.com/GivingTuesdayNWO/. Cost for the event is $20, which includes appetizers and dinner. Seats are limited.
