A 1,500 SQUARE FOOT THERAPY CENTER
NOVEMBER 8TH MARKED A TRULY MONUMENTAL MOMENT AT THE CENTER: THE UNVEILING OF OUR NEW JEWISH COMMUNAL FUND SENSORY GYM. THIS EXTRAORDINARY FACILITY COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE OF THE UJA, WHO SECURED A GRANT FROM THE JCF’S ENDOWMENT, THE JCF SPECIAL GIFTS FUND.
The JCF enabled us to build an extravagant state-of-the-art 1,500 square foot therapy center, equipped with therapy swings, rock-climbing walls, monkey bars, therapy balls, and other sensory equipment. At the Center, we know that sensory gyms are vital in supporting fine motor skills, body awareness, increased social skills, enhanced independence, and so much more. It is a wonderful contribution that so many children in our community will enjoy and benefit from. The sensory gym has already become the talk of the town, and as word continues to spread, we can only imagine the impact this gym will have on our community.
The night of the event was filled with words of excitement from members of the JCF, including their CEO Sue Dickman and UJA’s Executive Vice President Mark Medin. The Center’s very own occupational therapist Evelyn Salama, as well as parent and longtime friend Susan Srour, spoke words of wisdom about how important the new gym is.
We want to thank everybody involved in this noteworthy project, and we invite the community to come to the Center and see our new addition.
