WALK N ROLL for Special Needs

Our event is sponsored by SSWA organization here at UTM and is hosted by PALS organization in the community. PALS stands for Preparing for Abundant Life for Special Needs Children and their families. The group is affiliated with The Sheppard's Field Church in Martin. They offer free trainings for parents about the rights of disabled children and how to plan Individualized Education Plans for children in school, as well as fun play time for the children.
We have decided the September 5 from 10 -2 here at the campus Quad will be the time and place for a walk a thon entitled: WALK N ROLL for Special Needs. We plan on having booths to give parents information about local resources, such as the Star Center, TEIS, and Head Start and Early Head Start. We also are arranging crafts and games for the children to play, such as pumpkin and ghord painting, and face painting, yoyo balls, bubble blowing, and sidewalk chalk. There are opportunities for meals and snacks to be purchased at the event. And we are combining efforts with the local Firestation and Police Department to perform safety seat checks and other demonstrations.
The families with special needs children will be walking to raise awareness and funds that have been donated by local businesses for the walk. The general public is also able to walk with any dollar amount donation they would like to present PALS.
We would greatly appreciate any assistance you can give us toward this event.
Thank you
