Amazing things happen when people like you agree to champion and raise money for Abilities First. The Abilities First Peer to Peer (P2P) Giving Fundraiser is a great way to show your support and share your reason WHY it's essential to fund our community of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

By joining, YOU are continuing to keep a promise, ensuring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can reach their full potential and live their best lives!

Abilities First celebrates 60 years of service and our legacy is firmly rooted in community support and collaboration. This generous spirit is what drives our mission of empowering children and adults with disabilities. With access to services, programs, and support made possible by loyal donors like you, people with disabilities have the opportunity to seize the possibilities that allow them to reach their goals and live their fullest lives.

This year we will offer you a way to support your loved one, family friend, or be an Abilities First fundraising champion using the Peer to Peer Giving Fundraiser campaign site. This easy fundraising site allows us together to make a difference for the over 1,400 individuals to achieve their highest potential by providing comprehensive services and programs.

Please create your own customized fundraising page to celebrate your birthday, an individual your know supported by AF, an awareness campaign or make a gift and don't forget to share it, so others know their help is needed to continue to provide enhancements, technology, social events, outing and opportunities to connect and therapy equipment to a person's success. These items can be a vital part of their developmental and social goals.

Your gift makes a difference today. Help empower those who need us most by joining today!
