Our agency’s humble beginnings can be traced back to
a classroom in the basement of the East Side Christian
Church where the lives of 14 children with disabilities
began to change. That was 60 years ago. Fast forward to
today and we now offer nine high-quality programs and
services to help approximately 750 individuals with disabilities reach milestones and
achieve goals that will impact every aspect of their lives. The Arc of Evansville is able to
provide these opportunities to the individuals we serve because of people like you—our
friends, neighbors, and supporters. Your generosity is what allows us to do more for
the people who depend on our services. In fact, this past year, we were able to expand
our reach and fulfill an unmet need for individuals with disabilities by introducing highquality residential services, which provide supports to individuals with disabilities who
choose to live in their own home or apartment.
This year, we also experienced huge milestones as an agency as we celebrated our 60th
anniversary as an advocate for individuals with disabilities. We united with the state and
national associations of The Arc and adopted The Arc of Evansville as our name to reflect
opportunities for hope, for growth, and for change for the individuals we serve. Our
new tagline “Achieve with us” is a powerful invitation to achieve even more in terms
of participation, inclusion, acceptance, and respect for all people with disabilities in the
years to come.
Our voice as an advocate continues to grow stronger year after year because of our
community’s constant support and generosity.
I invite you to continue to “Achieve with us” as there are many more milestones that the
individuals we serve are striving for and deserve to achieve and celebrate. I am confident
that with your help, The Arc of Evansville will continue to lead the community in helping
children and adults achieve those milestones and so much more.

2013 - 2014 Agency Highlights
The Arc of Evansville celebrated 60 years
The Arc of Evansville celebrated our 60th anniversary as a leading advocate for the
rights of individuals with disabilities. We hosted various events, including open
houses, reunions, and volunteer opportunities, for the community to engage with
us, celebrate our past accomplishments, and learn how we plan to continue to
develop new strategies and opportunities to best serve individuals with disabilities.
The Arc of Evansville completed its Capital Campaign
We successfully surpassed our Capital Campaign fundraising goal on February
24, 2014! Old National Bank President and CEO Bob Jones, our Capital
Campaign Chairperson, joined us to make the official announcement of the total,
$2,089,512. Bob Jones also presented a $25,000 gift from Old National Bank,
which brought the final grand total of the Capital Campaign to $2,114,512!
The Really Big Awards Show raised over $90,000
The 2014 Really Big Awards Show was led and organized by a dedicated group
of approximately 175 volunteers. Nearly 1,500 community members attended
this variety show that featured some of the Tri-state’s best musicians, dancers,
comedians, and entertainers, as well as, The Arc of Evansville’s Chairman and
14 News Chief Meteorologist Jeff Lyons as the host. The proceeds of this event
benefited the agency’s nine programs and services. The show raised over $90,000
to help maintain our high-quality programs and services.
Development of a Resource Guide
The Arc of Evansville’s Programs & Standards Committee developed a resource
guide that provides information to families about a variety of local, state, and
national resources that are available for parents of infants and young children.
The guide, which is titled “Raising a Healthy Child: A Family’s Guide to Local
Resources for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers,” was made possible by a
grant from the Welborn Baptist Foundation and presents information to new
parents about developmental milestones, support services, and other medical,
therapeutic, and educational resources for families and children. Many of the
services and supports mentioned in the resource guide are specifically designed
for children with developmental delays or developmental disabilities; however,
the guide’s overall content addresses the developmental milestones that all
children typically experience. The Committee was awarded the 2014 Health &
Wellness Award from The Arc of Indiana on October 29, 2014, for this project.

Achieve with Elywnn
Elwynn is a sweet, vivacious two-year-old girl who was one of 184 children both with and without
disabilities served by The Arc of Evansville’s Child Life Center (CLC) this past year. She started attending
in August 2013 when she was just 14 months old. Elwynn began feeding herself and crawling on her
belly by pulling with one arm in August, and by October, Elwynn was moving forward and backward
with the aid of a push toy and had increased her speed in crawling, which helped encourage her to
begin standing in November. Once spring came, Elywnn mastered walking with one hand held and
began walking independently in May 2014.
The teachers also continuously worked with Elywnn on her cognitive development and she began
using basic sign language to communicate her needs. She would even make hand motions for songs
such as “The Itsy Bitsy Spider.”
Today, Elwynn continues to make tremendous strides in her development, which reveals more and
more of her bubbly personality. For example, Elwynn began blowing kisses to her parents and friends.
Elwynn has blossomed into a fantastic classroom helper and participates in the daily routines at the CLC.
Elwynn’s teachers are confident that she will continue to achieve developmental milestones at the CLC and, ultimately, be prepared to enter
kindergarten. This year, 58 percent of the children who exited the CLC and entered kindergarten either reduced or eliminated their need for
special education services.
Achieve with Nate
Before coming to The Arc of Evansville, Nate successfully graduated high school, but did not know
which path he wanted to take, whether it was continuing his education, working, or staying at home.
However, Nate knew that he loved the cinema and filmmaking. In fact, when Nate entered the
Community Job Link (CJL) program, he said that he knew he wanted to explore opportunities that
would connect him to Hollywood. After successfully analyzing his strengths and interests, the CJL staff
assisted him in securing an interview at AMC Evansville 16 (AMC), a company that is committed to
employing a team that is truly as diverse as the entertainment on the movie screens. Nate’s passion
for filmmaking and impressive work ethic got him a job at AMC on the spot. Now, after a couple of
months of working at AMC, Nate has found joy in learning new job responsibilities and has even
expressed interest in signing up at a local community college to take courses to ultimately lead him
to a different role in the entertainment industry. This new spark would not have been discovered was
it not for the assistance of the CJL program and the supportive work environment provided by AMC.
The Arc of Indiana named AMC the recipient of the 2014 Employment Award for their outstanding
efforts in employing individuals with disabilities on October 29, 2014.
Achieve with Keesha
Keesha is one of 124 individuals with disabilities who received services in the agency’s Day Services Program For Adults this year with the
ultimate goal to achieve a greater level of independence. While Keesha participates in numerous activities that are designed to help her daily
living, self-help, self-advocacy, and social skills, she also works with instructors in the program to increase her communication skills through
the Communication & Assessment Project, funded by the Community Development Block Grant. Although Keesha has fantastic receptive
communication skills, she can be difficult to understand when communicating with an individual who does not interact with her on a daily
basis. To help increase her vocabulary and communication level, Keesha began learning sign language a few years ago with the goal to use
some simple signs to address her wants and needs.
At first, Keesha was learning basic sign language, including the motions for “yes,” “no,”
“bathroom,” “home,” “mom,” and “dad.” She quickly mastered those words and began
learning how to sign colors, foods, and days of the week. Keesha found this life-enhancing
educational component of the program not only helpful, but also fun and exciting. The
more she invested her time in learning new words to sign, the more her communication
skills increased.
Today, Keesha is signing full phrases and sentences to express her emotions, wants, and
needs. She also understands sign language used by others and can respond appropriately
using her signs. She has significantly increased her expressive skills, as well as, her receptive
language skills. Recently, Keesha teamed up with a group of friends to sign the popular
1990s hit “I Want It That Way” from the Backstreet Boys at the agency’s talent show.

Make a difference with your contributions
While the need for our services continue, several of our funding sources have been significantly reduced or eliminated. Support
from the community, business partners, friends, and donors will ensure that The Arc of Evansville can continue to provide highquality programs and services to individuals with disabilities.
Give to the annual fund
Share your time and talent
Annual contributions provide funding for programs such as
the Child Life Center, Successful Transitions, Connections
For Life, and other critical agency needs. Donations may
be restricted to your area of interest or designated to the
area of greatest need. Gifts may also be made in honor or
memory of an individual, group, or family.
Volunteering your time and talent can be one of the greatest
gifts you can give to The Arc of Evansville. There are many
opportunities to get involved including working directly
with our children and adults during program hours; serving
on various committees or task forces; serving on our board
of directors; or providing assistance to complete short-term
projects. Whatever your areas of interest may be, we can
find a spot for you to volunteer at The Arc of Evansville!
Support The Really Big Show
Our signature fundraising event, The Really Big Show, seeks
to increase awareness of the mission of The Arc of Evansville,
raise needed funds, and provide a fun-filled evening of
entertainment for all ages. Both businesses and individuals
can support this event through sponsorships, underwriting
of costs, the donation of auction items, or attending the
show. This annual community variety show provides funds
for our areas of greatest needs.
Leave a legacy
We appreciate the value of your legacy at The Arc of
Evansville and understand that your consideration to include
us in your estate plan, through a planned gift or bequest,
is a validation of our mission to provide independent lives
for individuals with disabilities. Donors may choose to gift
shares of stock, contribute a life insurance policy, set up a
charitable trust, or make a provision in your will or estate
plan. We cannot think of a greater honor for The Arc of
Evansville than a legacy gift from our supporters.
