Shine Free Events for Families with Special Needs
Join us!
The Shine Project Foundation Enrichment Events are specially designed for special needs families: children, teens, and young adults to provide opportunities for fun, to be active, to be creative, to explore interests, to meet other families and make friends, to connect with local resources and businesses, and to provide access to a more inclusive community and life.
We also have events and projects for others in need. See list for upcoming Shine events, opportunities, and other community happenings.
*Events are free unless stated otherwise and may have a nominal fee.
