The Haven hasn't added a story.
Imagine you or someone you love couldn't attend a movie, a play, a restaurant dinner, or another child's birthday party with your child, without experiencing public condemnation, judgement, or even ridicule because your child behaves nontraditionally, or worse still, couldn't drive down the street with their child for fear they could loose their restraints and cause an accident due to a meltdown caused by a communication skill deficit.
Nestled on 32-acres in the heart of Sarasota, The Haven offers programs and services for adults and children with disabilities to enhance quality of life by encouraging independence, championing inclusion and advocating for their individual rights. Together, we can create a world where people with disabilities are included and celebrated for who they truly are —talented and incredible human beings. The Haven Academy is a private, McKay Scholarship school registered with the Florida Department of Education serving students with a wide range of abilities from ages 14-22. The Haven Academy provides functional academics, life skills, vocational skills, and community based instruction with a low student to teacher ratio so that our students reach their academic potential and personal goals. Instructors utilize the Unique Learning System; a one-of-a-kind program designed specifically to give students with complex learning needs meaningful access to the general education curriculum.
On Saturday, May 11th, The Haven Academy will be hosting the 2nd Annual Autism Awareness Festival from 10AM-6PM. This massive fundraiser will benefit The kids and staff of The Haven Academy, directly. One of our main attractions at this event is the power lifting exhibition. We are seeking sponsors willing to sponsor a power lifter (there will be at least 30 lifters) for this friendly dead lift competition at .50 cents per pound to cover their minimum $50 registration fee that will benefit The Haven Academy directly. Put your lifter's name in the comments section upon posting your sponsorship via this fundraising link.
