Grand Traditions: In Celebration of Grandparents
In September 2006 ParentsCAN hosted its first ever fundraising event. The goal for the event was twofold – to raise funds to directly support Napa County families of children with disabilities and celebrate grandparents on Grandparents Day weekend.
Families of children with disabilities here in Napa County face many unique challenges and make heroic efforts to support their children at home where they can grow to their potential. There are over 2,700 children with disabilities in Napa County. Grandparents often play a critical role in enabling these families to stay together and provide what their family needs ...so we wanted to celebrate them!
Thank you for making our third annual Grand Traditions GRAND!
