THANK YOU! Because AIM does not charge a fee to AIMers (these are the adults with disabilities whom we serve), we rely entirely on fundraising and donations to provide the supports that allow AIMers to thrive. For the past 9 years, Tutus and Ties has been our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we offer our profound thanks to everyone - those who have been with us since Year 1 to those joining for the first time this year - who help us make independence possible.
YOUR SUPPORT provides:
Transportation so that AIMers can get to work and AIM activities
Opportunities for ongoing learning, physical fitness, and social activities
Sustainability so that AIM can be their lifelong community
