THEVOICE
Spring 2012
From looking at the front page of The Voice, it is clear
this issue is different, bold, and marks a visual change in the
way we have begun to tell the ‘CP Story.’
There is much to tell about the wonderful happenings at
CP Rochester. But this issue’s focus is on the pictures and
faces of the people who are at the heart of our many
CP Rochester stories. These stories help our organization
share with each other, families, and our community who
and what CP Rochester is, and what we do every day.
Our agency does many different things for many different
people who require many different types of support. As a
result, the community is sometimes challenged to ‘define’
the nature of CP Rochester and help others to understand as
well. Our stories are of
countless, unique
individuals with numerous
different needs, who are
part of an organization
which provides so many
distinctive services. But
fundamentally, ours is a
story of commitment,
caring, service to others,
and success! You can
clearly see that commitment, caring, and success in the
faces in this issue of The Voice, and every day throughout
our organization, as well as at www.CPisMyStory.com.
You are witness to the many remarkable successes here at
CP Rochester.
However, despite success, in these times of unprecedented
change and challenge it can be human nature to let our
gaze shift to things with which we struggle. This issue of
The Voice rises above our human nature. It tells the
remarkable stories of staff, volunteers, families, children, and
adults we are here to support – and will always support. It
shows us how even one small act of kindness, or persistence,
or applied skill can grow into something truly remarkable
and forever change the lives of everyone involved.
Please take a moment to look into these faces. See for
yourself and share in the remarkable success of how so
many lives are changed for the better. You, and everyone
who actively participates in the success at CP Rochester, are
a critical component of this change. It is clear to me we are
all doing the right things… and doing them right. Be well.
Brian C. Klafehn
President
Doing the right things…
…and doing them right.
From a Mom:
Staff Determination Helps Diagnose My Son
Speech Pathologist Kim Miller and CP Rochester preschooler Bobby Rule.
My son, Bobby, started at CP Rochester in September 2011 as
an energetic, bright three-year old with severe speech problems.
He had a pre-diagnosis of speech apraxia, expressive and
receptive language delays, and possible auditory processing
issues. Bobby had been in speech therapy since he was one year
old. He spoke very few words and could barely follow a one-step
direction. Bobby had been to many doctors and specialists since
his birth who tried to help him and figure out what was going on.
Less than a week after school began at CP Rochester, the
speech therapist, Kim Miller, and classroom teacher, Laurie
Benwitz, mentioned to Bobby’s father and I that they had
concerns about Bobby’s hearing. I explained that even though
Bobby had failed the hearing screening at birth, over the past
three years he’d had numerous hearing tests and still goes to
the audiologist and ear, nose and throat doctor about every six
months to follow up (I felt like we had been down this road
before, and it hadn’t led to any answers). Kim wasn’t afraid of
being wrong; her only concern was to help Bobby. So we made
another appointment with his ear, nose, and throat physician.
Kim came with us to the appointment and expressed her concerns
to the doctor. The doctor and audiologist were still convinced
the previous tests were sufficient and Bobby did not have a
hearing problem. However, this time I did not accept that
answer since Bobby was learning how to ‘play games’ in the
audiology booth, and I felt some of the testing was inaccurate.
So reluctantly, the audiologist suggested sedating Bobby at the
hospital and doing another auditory brainstem response (ABR)
test to get a more accurate measure of his hearing.
This time, the ABR showed that Bobby had moderate-severe
to severe sensorineural hearing loss (about 70%) in both ears.
This was very difficult to hear as parents, but at the same time,
we were relieved to finally have answers and could start
helping our son.
We owe so much to Kim and Laurie for knowing kids so well
and having the confidence and knowledge to act in their best
interest. They helped our son more than anyone ever has. They
helped our family, and they continue to show continuous
support and encouragement for Bobby’s changing needs. For
three years, no one could help Bobby, and after just a single
week, Kim and Laurie helped us find answers. Thank you Kim,
Laurie, and CP Rochester!
Love, Krissy Rule and Family

2011 Annual Appeal Exceeds Previous Year
You may have seen the beautiful 2011

video featuring CP Rochester volunteer
Tony Nardone working his magic
modifying a bicycle for one of the
children served by the Augustin

Tony’s story of commitment, was the
focus of CP Rochester’s 2011 Annual
Appeal which raised nearly $26,000 (an
increase of nearly $4,000 from 2010).
In addition to the dollars raised through
collaborative fundraising, the increase
in donors (both new and returning) is
equally important. When 2010 is compared
to 2011, we see a wonderful trend.
In 2010, there were 534 returning donors
who gave 764 gifts of various monetary
levels. In 2011, the number of returning
donors increased to 665 contributing
1,411 gifts of various monetary levels.
That’s a 43% increase in returning
donors and an 85% increase in the
number of gifts.
Equally important is the addition of new
donors. In 2010, CP Rochester received
support from 482 new donors making
764 gifts. We saw that figure increase in
2011 to 750 new donors contributing
1,103 gifts of various monetary levels.
That’s a 56% increase in new donors and
a 44% increase in the number of gifts.
Wonderful news!
Cultivating individual donor relationships
is important in this difficult fiscal
environment. Donor development is done
in a variety of ways, mostly by getting
CP Rochester’s name out in the
community, sending appeals, and
highlighting success stories. Visibility is
increased even more by hosting
friend/fundraisers like the Sip and Tip
events, the Run for Fun, the Elks
Musicfest, and this donor newsletter
The Voice. The agency also utilizes social
media and its web site. And it asks. The
collaborative fundraising team from the
Al Sigl Community of Agencies continues
to work with CP Rochester on donor
development, planned giving, and
event sponsorship. The results of their
efforts continue to increase individual
donor giving and grant awards. Watch

New Employee Recognition Program Unveiled
Kalan (r), plays with fellow classmate, Ben.
Throughout our lives, we come in contact with individuals
who bond with us in a deep and meaningful way. We feel
fortunate to know them and are grateful for our time together
and the gifts they share with us. These ‘champions’ may be
teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, or any number of people
who truly make a difference in our lives and the lives of our
loved ones.
By donating to CP Rochester in honor of an employee, the
agency will designate them as a ‘Champion of Care.’ They will
also present the staff person with a specially-designed
Champions of Care lapel pin which will be worn with pride and
gratitude in recognition of the thoughtful gift. For more
information, go to www.CPRochester.org/Champions.
CP Rochester understands how a union can develop between
an individual and their caregiver. It happens every minute of
every day. In fact, these connections are a significant reason
why the organization is so successful achieving its mission to
support people with physical and developmental disabilities
choose and accomplish successive, individualized life goals.
Individuals and their families ask how they can formally
recognize an employee who they feel is their ‘champion.’
Based on these wishes, CP Rochester developed an initiative
designed to allow heartfelt individuals to publicly honor an
employee who has made a profound impact on them. The new
Champions of Care recognition program provides consumers
and/or family members a unique way to express gratitude for
extraordinary care provided by their caregivers while also
supporting the mission of CP Rochester.

It was an important life lesson for Kalan to learn, and Ashley wanted to

$27,000 in Gifts to Purchase
Panoramic Dental X-ray Machine
Thanks to several grants awarded by area foundations, CP Rochester
has acquired all the funds necessary to purchase a $25,000+
panoramic x-ray machine for the Dental Clinic. One major
advantage of the panoramic x-ray is its ease-of-use. Unlike
traditional x-ray machines where the film is placed inside the
patient’s mouth, the panoramic film is contained in a machine
which moves around the patient’s head. This is very beneficial
since many of the Dental Clinic’s patients have difficulty with
traditional x-rays.
Grants were provided by

CP Rochester hopes to have the panoramic x-ray machine in place by late spring.
CP Rochester Contributing to Dental Task Force
Under the umbrella of the University of Rochester Medical Center and the Eastman Institute of Oral
Health, and with the support of the Golisano Foundation, a task force has been formed to address the
unmet oral health needs of people with developmental disabilities in Livingston, Monroe, Ontario,
Orleans, and Wayne counties. CP Rochester President Brian Klafehn and Nurse Supervisor Liz Sheen
are members of the Steering Committee. Brian and Liz’s workgroup investigated the current state of
oral health care for people with developmental disabilities and worked to develop a community survey.

Early Intervention Program Benefits
from Nearly $20,000 in Gifts
Webster Lions Gives
Shared Ski Adventures a ‘Lift’
Several Rochester foundations generously contributed
nearly $20,000 to the Early Intervention Program, a
division of CP Rochester’s Augustin Children’s Center.
Over the last decade, the Early Intervention Program has
suffered from dramatic decreases in state funding and
reimbursement rates. The staff has worked very hard to
absorb the reduction in budget. All monies gifted from the
following foundations will be used to help fund day-today operations, allowing the program to continue the
tradition of providing the highest quality-of-care for the
children it serves.
The Webster Lions Camp
Smile board of directors
recently made a $1,000 gift
to CP Rochester’s Shared Ski
Adventures. Shared Ski
Adventures is a fun, adaptive,
learn-to-ski program which helps people with disabilities
become independent skiers. Because the Camp Smile
charter is for blind/visually impaired children, the board
requested the money be used to pay for season passes
and any special equipment needs for children under 18
who are blind or visually impaired.
$10,000 – Wilson Foundation
The Marie C. and Joseph C. Wilson Foundation was
created in 1963 out of a deep sense of commitment to the
community and its desire to enhance the quality-of-life
for its residents.
The Buffalo Bills Youth Foundation isn’t
all about football! The organization also
gifted $1,000 to Shared Ski Adventures.
$2,000 – J. M. McDonald Foundation
The J.M. McDonald Foundation, Inc. focuses on education,
humanities, health, and a variety of social and human
services.
$2,500 – Willmott Foundation
The mission of the Fred and Floy Willmott Foundation is
to support community-based education programs (among
others) developed by not-for-profit organizations.
$1,000 – Daisy Marquis Jones Foundation
The Daisy Marquis Jones Foundation was established in
1968 and is dedicated to improving the well-being of
residents in Monroe and Yates counties by funding
programs which aid disadvantaged children and families.
$2,500 – Ames Amzalak Memorial Trust
The Ames Amzalak Memorial Trust was established
through the combination of residuary trusts of three
brothers who wanted the bulk of their estates to benefit
local charities and improve the quality-of-life in the
Greater Rochester area.
$1,000 – Wegmans Food Markets
Wegmans Food Markets generously donated $1,000
allowing the Augustin Children’s Center to purchase
healthy snacks for the children in its care.

$5,000 from the Rochester Area
Community Foundation
The Rochester Area Community Foundation works to
improve the quality of life in the greater Rochester region
by evaluating and addressing community issues,
promoting responsible philanthropy, and connecting
donors to the critical needs of the community. True to its
mission, the Foundation generously contributed $5,000 to
help CP Rochester consumers pay for home evaluations
for assistive technology. CP Rochester helps consumers
acquire and correctly utilize a variety of devices designed
to assist individuals in their day-to-day needs (while
insurance does often cover the cost of the assistive device,
it does not pay for the evaluations).

2011 WalkAbout Raises Nearly $14,000
WalkAbout is a very popular annual event which unites staff, volunteers, families, and
friends of CP Rochester with the other Al Sigl agencies for a morning of fundraising,
‘friend-raising,’ and fun. Last year’s event was held at Marketplace Mall. Money was raised
several ways, including sponsoring a walk team, creating a fundraising team (which many
employees did), and hosting bake sales and Halloween parties, among others. All of the
nearly $14,000 raised for CP Rochester was shared among participating departments and will be used to support the
efforts of the agency. The 2012 WalkAbout is October 28 at Eastview Mall. Call 585-442-4102 for more information.
ROC the Day Nets over $1,000 for CP Rochester
ROC the Day was a one-day, on-line giving event which took place last
December. The first of its kind in the Greater Rochester area, ROC the Day
brought together thousands of community members who made an end-ofyear gift to help advance their philanthropic passions. CP Rochester’s ‘ROC
stars’ generously donated over $1,000 during the ROC the Day event! The
monies were utilized by the agency in support of all its programs.
A Successful 2011 Employee Campaign
While the 2012 Employee Campaign is currently wrapping up and figures being tabulated,
CP Rochester announced its 2011 Campaign brought in approximately $7,000 through
staff generosity. As in past years, staff were able to donate to any United Way designated
agency on the list (including CP Rochester) either through payroll deduction or a onetime payment. Many employees chose to bypass the United Way and donate directly to
CP Rochester; as a result, CP Rochester received the full benefit of their donation.
$20,000 Helps to Keep Consumers Active
in Action
The Al Sigl Sports Committee contributed $20,000 from its fund to CP Rochester’s
Community Recreation program. The gift was allocated to several Recreation initiatives
including $5,000 for Shared Ski Adventures. The remaining gift will be distributed to
many of the agency’s other community-based opportunities such as purchasing tickets
for games, materials for arts and crafts, and family outings, among others.

CP Rochester and other affiliates are supported through
the New York State Elks Major Projects Program. Each
year, CP Rochester hosts the incoming Elks president
along with a group of representatives from the local
lodges to showcase the agency’s new initiatives and
update them on programs and services offered. The Elks
have been CP Rochester’s partner from the very
beginning with a donation of $5,000 toward the
agency’s first home on East Avenue. The local lodges

Meet CP Rochester
Board Chair Joyce Weir
Joyce and her husband Bill first became involved with
CP Rochester in the summer of 1987 as they were preparing to
move to Rochester from New York City. They needed to find
therapy services for their 18-month old daughter, Caitlin, who
was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. One of
Bill’s colleagues recommended they visit
CP Rochester’s children’s program. The
Weir’s were impressed by all they saw and
eagerly enrolled Caitlin in the program as
soon as they relocated.
Joyce and Bill were very pleased with their
experiences at the Augustin Children’s
Center. They found great strength in
meeting other parents of children with
special needs through the support group
and Preschool Parent Council. Caitlin
attended CP Rochester’s children’s
program for four years including Discovery
Day Care (as did her brother, William, a few
years later). Once Caitlin was school-aged, she participated in
many of CP Rochester’s recreational programs, including
swimming, horseback riding, power wheelchair soccer, and
adaptive skiing. Caitlin continues to receive support and
services through CP Rochester, including therapy, dental care,
in-home respite, community habilitation, and service
coordination.
Joyce joined CP Rochester’s board of directors 22 years ago.
She has served on the Consumer Services Committee, the
Executive Committee, and as board representative to the
agency’s Corporate Compliance Committee. As the parent of
a child with cerebral palsy, Joyce brings a deep understanding
and appreciation of the experiences, challenges, needs, and
desires of individuals with disabilities and their families. She
has a unique insight into the agency’s operations and core
competencies. The length of her
involvement with the agency, both as a
family member and board member, gives
her historical perspective on the agency’s
growth and change over the years.
Joyce has experience as a volunteer with
community groups focused on special
education and disability advocacy which
gives her a broader-based understanding
of community and societal issues as they
relate to disability and inclusion. Although
Joyce’s training as a research biologist
may not be directly applicable to the
business of the board, it has taught her to
be a critical thinker, analyst, and problem
solver — all essential skills to lead CP Rochester through these
challenging times.
Throughout their years with CP Rochester, the Weirs have
been impressed by the enthusiasm, knowledge, and caring
dedication of the staff — whether it is a therapist, a direct care
employee, or an administrator. Joyce notes they have always
felt welcomed and supported at CP Rochester and knows
that if she ever has a problem or concern, the people at
CP Rochester will do their best to help. “In a nutshell,” stated
Joyce, “that’s family!”
65th Anniversary Gathering of the Board
Last September at its Winton Road campus, CP Rochester hosted a special gathering
of members from its current and former board of directors and executive management
team to kick off its 65th Anniversary celebration. The event recognized many of
CP Rochester’s past leaders for their contributions to the organization, and provided
an update on the agency’s 2012 key initiatives. Guests enjoyed food, music, and good
company as they shared stories of CP Rochester’s past success and visions of its future.
“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our rich 65-year history of providing essential
services to children and adults with disabilities,” said CP Rochester President Brian
Klafehn, “than to recognize and thank the people who have championed the vision
and mission of our great organization for all these years.”

Maintaining
Independence with
Accessible Home
Renovations
CP Rochester’s Accessible Home Renovations program, and its certified
‘aging-in-place specialists,’ perform modifications to homes of individuals
with physical or developmental disabilities, or who are frail and elderly.
These adaptations have been designed to provide a safe and usable
environment, allowing people to continue living in the home and
neighborhood of their choice.
In addition to home renovations, CP Rochester also employs an Adaptive
Technology Resource Apartment team. This team of occupational and
physical therapists is available to provide assessment of the individual’s
needs for changes within the home. The team ensures the program is
clinically-based and provides individuals the opportunity to access the most
current technology in designing changes to the home environment to
better meet their needs.
Thanks to the work completed by
CP Rochester’s Accessible Home Renovations
program, along with a grant from New York

CP Rochester’s Inspiration Project pairs writing students
at the University of Rochester with people who live in the
agency’s residences. The goal of the program is for the
two-person writing team to produce a complete, purposeful,
polished story.
The interactions between students and residents occur once
per week on a one-to-one basis at the University of Rochester.
During these meetings, students conduct interviews with
individuals and transcribe responses; the students are taught
to listen carefully and at the same time to encourage bold
expression. CP Rochester participants may make up material
about fictional characters, or draw from memory and present a
biographical piece. Together, the partners edit the interviews
with the goal of producing an interesting story.
Jane Gefell (l), and U of R student Katie VanWert work together to capture Jane’s story.

Lacing up for the
Run for Fun!
CP Rochester’s 2012 Run for Fun is being held on Saturday, May 12,
rain or shine at the Winton Campus. Just like previous years, the agency
will host an official 5K run for the hard core runners, as well as a one-mile
fun run/walk for everyone to participate in
if they like. Wilson Farms/7-Eleven will again
sponsor this fundraising and ‘friend-raising’
event. Last year, over 400 runners, walkers, and
rollers enjoyed the day and raised over $40,000 to benefit the health and fitness
initiatives for individuals servered by CP Rochester.
Dialogue on Disability
CP Rochester once again participated in WXXI’s Dialogue on Disability community
series; a partnership between WXXI and the Al Sigl Community of Agencies. The weeklong outreach initiative was designed to stimulate community dialogue about the
perspectives and abilities of people with disabilities.
At the heart of this initiative was television and radio programming which celebrated the amazing lives of
people with disabilities. Dialogue on Disability ran in early January and featured several CP Rochester staff
members as experts in the field. Staff spoke on access and inclusion, early intervention, and healthy lifestyles.
QR Codes
If you haven’t noticed already, CP Rochester has embraced the use of ‘QR Codes’
making it easier for consumers, families, donors, potential consumers, and the general
public to stay connected to the agency. These ‘Quick Read’ codes are scanned by smart
phones and other mobile devices with a camera and a scanner app. The scanned codes
then open a targeted page from CP Rochester’s web site on the device. Look for the
QR codes on all new advertisements, flyers, and brochures.
CP Rochester on the Web
Don’t forget to check out CP Rochester’s web page at www.CPRochester.org. It is
filled with lots of program and service information, event updates, and photos. The
agency’s Facebook page is also very active and features consumer testimonials, links
to articles, TV commercials, and staff photos: www.Facebook.com/CPRochester.

Students from Siena Catholic Academy spent a morning with the children
from CP Rochester’s preschool program. The students helped the preschoolers
host a ‘Snowball Day’ in the gym by using marshmallows and sharing their
very best arts and crafts skills.
Students from the Monica Leary Elementary
School in the Rush-Henrietta School District
were on-site at the CP Rochester Winton
Campus in December to sing holiday carols.
Nearly 100 staff and consumers took a
break from their day to sit and enjoy the
30-minute concert.

Ways to Give
Many CP Rochester donors choose to give from their
immediate assets such as cash and check (or via credit card).
In addition to this type of giving, there are a number of
creative ways to provide long-term financial support, such as
with a ‘legacy’ gift. The goal of CP Rochester’s Legacy Society
is to plan for the organization’s future and set the course for
a strategic vision which will carry the agency forward. Legacy
gifts include bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable
remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, life insurance, real
estate, and others.
• Charitable Gift Annuity – A charitable gift annuity is when
a donor transfers property (cash, securities, real estate) to
CP Rochester in exchange for a fixed dollar payment during
the donor’s lifetime.
Every member of the CP Rochester family has the power to
make future change possible. Together, the agency can
continue to ensure the long-term sustainability of programs
and services for the nearly 2,000 individuals served each year.
• Charitable Lead Trusts – A charitable lead (income) trust is
established when a donor transfers property to a trust,
which generally pays income interest to CP Rochester.
• Charitable Gift from an IRA – Individuals over 70½ may
designate direct contributions from an IRA to CP Rochester.
• Charitable Remainder Trust – A charitable remainder trust
pays income to the donor or beneficiary for a period of time,
after which the property in the trust passes to CP Rochester.
Legacy Gifts
• Life Insurance – A gift of life insurance allows a donor to
pass on part of his or her estate with minimum cost,
maximum benefit, and often an estate tax advantage.
• Stocks – Gifts of stock enable donors to avoid capital gains
on the appreciation in market value of the shares.
• Real Estate – Gifts of real estate include a principal residence,
vacation home, farm, commercial property, and land.
• Bequests – Simple bequests may be made through a donor’s
will and can specify any dollar amount, percentage, or
portion of the estate to CP Rochester.
For more information on making an immediate or longterm legacy gift to CP Rochester, call Peter Gabak, director
of Development, at 585-442-4102 x2718 or via e-mail at
[email protected].
