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.

Check out Everence.com/GivingTuesdayNWO/ for additional opportunities to participate in the event. For more details about the #GivingTuesday movement, visit GivingTuesday.org.

QuarterMania 2018 Reminder

QuarterMania 2018 Reminder

Don’t forget! QuarterMania 2018 is just around the corner.

On Thursday, July 19, Sara’s Garden will be hosting its fourth 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 19, 2018
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!

For more information on this event either as a participant or as a vendor, please visit the Facebook event page or contact Tina Whalen via email or phone at (419) 345-5302.

ACENA Conference Registration Now Open

ACENA Conference Registration Now Open

Parents and professionals… Registration is now open for the upcoming 2018 ACENA Conference. This year’s conference, hosted by Sara’s Garden, is being held at historic Sauder Village, in Archbold, Ohio from August 27-29.

We are so excited to be able to convene dedicated conductors, administrators and professionals from across the world to learn, connect, envision and build the future of the practice of Conductive Education.

The working theme of the conference this year is: CONDUCTIVE EDUCATION ~ BLENDING TRADITION AND INNOVATION. The conference aims to highlight how the discipline of Conductive Education is a holistic approach to intervention that bridges the gap between educational and therapy services.

The conference’s keynote speaker is Dr. Lynne Gauthier, Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at The Ohio State University. Dr. Gauthier will be presenting on “Neuroplasticity, Rehabilitation & Gaming.” Though a relative newcomer to Ohio State, Dr. Gauthier has made significant inroads in finding collaborators and obtaining funding to support a research program that uses neuroimaging techniques to study the clinical efficacy of constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy), which is used to treat hemiparesis resulting from stroke, cerebral palsy, and brain injury.

This conference should be an invaluable resource to professionals, educators, special education teachers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physicians, social workers, program directors and administrators and parents of children with special needs. We hope you are able to attend.

For more information on conference details and registration or how to become an exhibitor and/or sponsor please visit the conference website at http://www.acenaconference.org/ or contact Jackie Rice via email at jackier@sarasgarden.org or by phone by calling 419.335.7272.
