"Peterson's Fund for Children"
Wed, May 17th 2017 at 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Our speaker this evening is Charlene Peterson of the "Peterson's Fund for Children"
The Peterson's Fund for Children is an ever-growing local charity, based in Surrey, which has made a large impact by our dedication to improving and enhancing the lives of children with cerebral palsy and other similar mental / physical disabilities.
They have been in existence for just over 9 years and through extensive fundraising efforts have been fortunate enough to provide funding for a variety of therapies, specialised equipment and much needed respite care otherwise unavailable on the NHS.
Their aim is help as many young people in need as possible in the hopes of improving their quality of life and offering them opportunities in order to maximise their individual growth and potential.
What began as a small weekly concession stand at a local sports field has blossomed into a sustainable, vibrant, robust charity hosting 8-10 fundraising events per year. Their support comes from many friends, local businesses and sponsors that donate their time, services and money and we are very grateful for their assistance.
