Hear Me, Respect Me, Include Me.

Dear Friends…

Thank you for your incredible support during these unprecedented times! Your partnership means so much to PRI and the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) we support. You helped us face challenges never encountered before. PRI needs your support as we continue rebuilding and reaching all clients, including those who are still waiting to return to services.

PRI’s 2023 fundraising campaign, My Voice! My Choice! empowers individuals with IDD to thrive in an inclusive community where their voices matter, and choices are abundant. This vision becomes a reality when individuals with IDD are seen, heard, and empowered to advocate for what they choose for their lives. Despite positive progress, individuals with IDD still face barriers to being heard and included. At PRI, our services support individuals in overcoming barriers, exploring their interests, discovering and raising their voices, and making choices about how they want to participate in the community.

But we can’t do this alone. Together with your partnership, we empower people with disabilities to use their voices and act on their choices while raising community awareness about the strengths of people with disabilities. In doing so, our community will be more inclusive, with employers providing an equitable workplace, and ensure that people with disabilities are included in community opportunities. With your support and investment, we can reach all clients and support their voices and choices through PRI services.

This year, our My Voice! My Choice! campaign removes barriers so individuals with disabilities can access community-based opportunities for skill-building, employment, wellness, and the arts, where they can be seen, heard, and included! Please join in and support these powerful voices making choices during 2023..

Your gift will amplify voices and choices by:

• Removing barriers to inclusion, focusing on reliable and safe transportation, so clients can be seen, heard and included!
• Getting clients who want to work back to work so they experience the satisfaction of earning a paycheck and enjoy being part of a team!
• Recruiting and retaining our amazing employees that are essential to the support of our individuals with disabilities!
