The Tree of Hope is our signature fundraising campaign that raises community awareness about developmental disabilities. This annual campaign provides an opportunity for individuals to gain a more in-depth understanding of how developmental disabilities affect our families, and thus our community. The funds raised during this campaign go directly to services and supports that enable individuals to live, work, learn and participate in their communities. Because our sponsors underwrite the cost of the campaign, every donated dollar goes directly to these services.
The Tree of Hope began in 1994 with a campaign goal to raise $40,000. At this time, a tree was planted at the corner of Marketview and Prospect that would become a community-wide symbol of hope for individuals with developmental disabilities in Champaign and Ford counties.
Your gift to this campaign will help to provide the supports and services to over 1,200 children and adults. With each $100 donation, a bulb is lit, thus providing the resources and services vital to a brighter future for individuals with developmental disabilities. Together, we can make a difference!!
Please support the Tree of Hope every year!!
