Family.
2009 Annual Report to the Community
That’s what one Dad recently said about Damar. At a difficult
time, he said, Damar worked with him to solve problems.
Respected his fears and concerns. Included him in decisions.
Cared for his child. Helped him and his child grow.
At Damar, we know that the word “family” is not defined by where
“ They treated us like family.”
you live or even who you’re related to. A family grows from shared
hope. From shared successes and failures. From shared laughter,
worries and growth. And from shared stories.
On the following pages, we’d like to share some of our family
stories with you so that you can see the many ways we define
family, and the many ways our family — in its many forms —
defines us.

Family is together.
The two sisters work side-by-side. They mix ingredients, pour batter into pans and later,
when their cake has cooled, they carefully apply icing and decorations. They’re focused and
diligent, but they’re also smiling and laughing, having a great time together.
Damar’s Community
For Rebecca and Nancy, that’s the operative word: together.
Living & Support Services
A year ago, the sisters who had been through thick and thin together were at risk of being
separated. Both were residents on Damar’s campus, but Rebecca was approaching the time
when she would “age out” and need to move off campus.

Working closely with the Division of Children’s Services, Damar was able to keep the girls
together until both could move into the community. Now they’re thriving – together – in
an apartment with two other girls under the 24-hour supervision of Damar’s Community
Living & Support Services program. Today, Rebecca has a job at Goodwill Industries.
Nancy is learning skills at Noble Centers. And, with the help of Damar, the sisters are

Shortly before his family brought Sean to Damar, he turned a TV over onto himself. It
wasn’t the first time. He would occasionally turn over furniture, try to get out of the house
or play too aggressively with his sister. It made life difficult for his mom, Kelly.
Damar’s Transitional Living
“Every moment you had to be paying attention to what he was doing,” Kelly said. At the
same time, you had to help him with basic tasks: brushing his teeth, dressing, eating.
Services provides 24-hour
Born with developmental disabilities, Sean’s communication and skills were limited, and
he often compensated with aggressive behavior. The family had sought help through
clinics and specialists, but none of them seemed to have a profound impact. Finally, the
family was directed to Damar. It didn’t take long for Kelly to see real progress.

“Before Sean came to Damar, if you said you loved him, he would put his hand up to his
cheek [to say ‘I love you’ in sign language], but he never did that on his own,” she said.

“He was here about two months, and I came to visit him and as soon as he saw me, he put

Sean spent time on Damar’s residential campus, learning to get along with others and
picking up basic life skills, and soon moved to a supervised transitional setting in an
apartment with other boys. Sean made great strides, gaining previously unimaginable
independence.
The next step: Returning Sean to his family’s home. “Damar has meant to our family that
we can come back together and live under one roof again,” Kelly says.
No doubt, when Sean returns home, Kelly will still keep a close eye on him. But now it
will be to make sure she doesn’t miss a single minute of growth.

When Tom walked into a courtroom to make the case for custody of his daughter, Anna,
the judge took one look at him and his situation and — as she later admitted — figured he
didn’t have a chance.
But — as the judge also later admitted — she was wrong. Last October, Anna did indeed
move home with Dad.
The judge’s doubts were well-founded. A few years ago, Anna was a child in trouble.
Aggressive. Oppositional. Victimized. A runaway risk. Unsuccessful at school. On the outs
with her mom. And dad? He had spent Anna’s most formative years behind bars.
A lot of people would have given up on this family. But the people at Damar saw a young
woman with potential and a man willing to do anything to bring his daughter home.
“This was a family that was so determined,” says Angel Knapp-Reese, Director of Damar’s
Prevention and Support Services (PASS). “It’s an amazing story.”
When Anna first came to Damar’s campus she was put in the most restrictive setting. She
blossomed under the structure, absorbed the lessons she learned and progressed to lessrestrictive settings. She attended Damar Academy and began to shine. Meanwhile, Dad
came back into the picture, showing an interest in bringing Anna home.
Damar built on that interest, provided family counseling and guidance on preparing a home
for Anna. Damar also smoothed the way with the New Castle school that Anna would
attend, and simply served as a resource for Tom’s family recovery project. “Everybody at
Damar was great,” Tom says. “All of them told me, if I need anything, just call.”
“When this family was given the opportunity at a second
chance, they amazed us beyond our expectations.”
— Angel Knapp-Reese, Director of PASS
And how have things worked out? Anna has settled in with Tom and his wife, Phyllis, and
she’s flourished in school, winning good grades and high praise from teachers. Now 17,
she’s thinking about college, with hopes of one day being a veterinarian. And Dad promises
that he’ll do whatever it takes to get her there. As he’s proven, with his determination and
Damar’s help, the odds are in his favor.

Family is home.
One evening last February, 17-year-old Randy Hurt stepped off of a plane at the
Indianapolis International Airport to find a crowd waiting to greet him. TV news cameras
recorded the scene as members of the Indianapolis Ice hockey team high-fived Randy, and
Damar staff and volunteers applauded and hugged him.
Randy smiled shyly and accepted the applause and accolades, his reward for an amazing
achievement: Just days earlier he had won three gold medals in speed skating at the Special
Olympics World Winter Games in Idaho.
Randy’s journey to an Olympic podium has been a long one. Coming to Damar in 2001,
he had up to that point struggled with development disabilities that were exacerbated by
neglect and abuse. Like so many other children who come to Damar, he had already been
through a number of other programs, with little success. He was withdrawn and difficult.
“When he first got here, Randy struggled to adhere to policies and procedures,” said Chris
Akers, a Training Director at Damar. “He was just a scared little kid.”
But all of that changed. That scared kid grew into a remarkable young man. Chris credits
the continuity and innovation of the staff team around Randy — and the involvement of
volunteer Pete Koers. It was Pete who discovered then-10-year-old Randy’s interest in
hockey and arranged for the boy to be a manager for the Ice. That led to a chance to train
as a speed skater and, ultimately, to the scene in the airport. “To watch Randy grow from
this scared, itty-bitty kid into this 6’4” champion speed skater has been the biggest thrill,”
Chris said.
“To watch Randy grow from this scared, itty-bitty kid into this
6’4” champion speed skater has been the biggest thrill.”
— Chris Akers, Quality Control Manager
“Randy got more than medals out of all this,” added Cindi Hart, the IndySpeed Sport
Club coach who served as Randy’s coach in the World Games. “He got new self-esteem.”
For Randy, Damar became the family he didn’t have. It gave him security. It gave him
consistency. It gave him a place to be himself — a home. Perhaps most important, it gave
him a dream, and the chance to achieve it.

Damar’s state-of-theart residential campus
provides services to 125
residents at a time, and
served more than 200
children and youth this
year. Residents are trained
in the skills they need to
achieve success and return
to their own communities.
Nearly half of our residents
face challenges related to
autism. In all, about 96
percent of those we serve

in the way. We help families deal with a range of issues, from
household needs and domestic difficulties to school problems
and basic life skills.
Theodore and Beverly Farkas wanted the best situation for
David and Martha, their two children with developmental
disabilities. They knew they couldn’t care for them at home, but
they weren’t interested in the prevailing alternatives at that time
– a state institution or out-of-state residential care.
A family holds you close, but aims to let you go. Like good
parents, we nurture people in order to equip them to stand on
their own two feet. That’s why we’re so proud that 96 percent
of the people we serve progress to greater independence in their
communities.
So they did what families tend to do: They created a better
situation. That better situation is what we know today as
Damar Services, Inc.
A family remains a family even after you move on. A door
never closes behind anyone at Damar. Even those individuals
who move on to independence or return to their families can
count on us for help at any time.
A lot has changed since Damar opened in 1967, but one thing
has remained consistent: an approach inspired by the best
attributes of a family. What does that mean? Consider these
attributes, and how Damar strives to live up to them.
Damar is family.
A family grows and prospers for the benefit of the family. At
Damar, we’ve grown a lot, but not for the sake of growth. Like
loving parents, we seek to grow and prosper so we can do even
more for the people who rely on us.
A family accepts you for who you are, but strives to help
you be better. Most adults and children who come to Damar
already have failed in other settings. We welcome them and
help them grow.
That last point is particularly pertinent this year, as we find
ourselves in the midst of our most exciting period of growth
ever. Our recently completed Exceeding Expectations capital
campaign has combined with the ongoing support of our
many loyal donors and friends to ensure that our growth will
continue well into the future.
A family sees you as a whole person. The challenges children
and adults bring to Damar don’t define them. We address each
person as an individual and develop a growth plan tailored to
his or her unique hopes and potential.
A family goes the extra mile. Damar routinely stretches
itself, pushing past barriers and extending its reach –
geographically and organizationally – to ensure the best
opportunities for the people we serve.
A family is there when you need it. Most Damar services are
offered on a 24-hour basis.
A family makes sure you learn. Damar strives to give
practical instruction and also provide or connect the children
and adults we serve with schooling or job training.
A family does what it takes. We’ll have little success
addressing developmental disabilities if other challenges get

Executive Letter
Executive Staff
Dear Friends,
This past year was one of the most exciting in Damar’s history. We served more adults and children than ever before.
We achieved a successful conclusion to our Exceeding Expectations capital campaign. We continued the expansion and
improvements on our campus. We saw new volunteers and donors join our ranks. And, most important, we enjoyed
countless success stories like the ones you’ve read in these pages.
As a result of all of this good news, we’ve celebrated a lot this year. But, even as we’ve grown and expanded throughout the
state of Indiana, we’ve also watched the demand for our services increase, continuing to outstrip our capacity.

While our residential capacity is nearing 145, at any given time, we have a waiting list of approximately 160 children due to
lack of space.
While we can provide educational support services to nearly 200 students in the new Damar Academy building, we get
inquiries almost daily about its programs.
While our transitional living services now include 25 transitional homes and serve Marion, Hendricks, Elkhart and
Tippecanoe counties, the need grows throughout the state.
We are proud of the work Damar does to meet the needs of the people we serve – we have an amazing team, from the paid
staff to our volunteers to our generous donors. But we also know that we must all do more if we are to meet the needs of
everyone who needs Damar.
We cannot rest. We cannot relax. We cannot pause in our drive to make life better for more people who face some of life’s
greatest challenges. So we ask you to join us in our celebrations. But we also ask you to continue to support the growth
that will allow us one day to turn away no one, to fulfill every request and to give more families hope and success where
hopelessness and failure seemed so certain.
Those are ambitious goals, but, after a year such as this one, we feel certain that we can reach them with your help.

The Damar Guild Family
At Damar, you won’t find a single aspect of our
operations — or a single individual we serve —
that hasn’t been touched by the Damar Guild.
For nearly four decades, the members of the Damar Guild have given
faithfully of their time, talent and treasure in a remarkably successful efforts
to engage others in the same kind of giving. They’ve worked relentlessly on
our behalf, raising funds, organizing events, marshalling manpower and
forging the connections to the community that have helped us grow and
serve so many.
This year, we must especially acknowledge the support the Guild gave us
as we successfully concluded our Exceeding Expectations capital campaign.
The Guild itself contributed $100,000 to the campaign, but it also should
be credited with creating some of the enduring relationships that played
such a big role in our success.
In the past year, the Guild highlighted its efforts with Shop ’Til You Drop,
a holiday shopping extravaganza held on Damar’s campus; and two
fun-filled and fruitful BINGO evenings at the Northside Knights of
Columbus.

Wrapping your arms around someone who has just achieved
something remarkable, or failed in a remarkable attempt.
At Damar, we can’t imagine what it would cost to provide these
human gifts without the help of our hundreds of dedicated and
big-hearted volunteers. Frankly, as important as these practices
are to what we do at Damar, if we had to include them in the
budget, we couldn’t do them at all. That’s why volunteers play
such an essential role in the lives of the children, youth and
young adults we serve, and why they have become such an
integral part of our success.
The board, leadership, staff and family of Damar are grateful
to the more than 1,200 individuals who so generously gave
22,499 hours of their time and talent in support of our
mission.

Volunteers give
and give … and receive
Jeff and Toni Schabel weren’t looking for a new
member of the family. They were just looking for
a volunteer opportunity – a chance to serve their
community by touching someone’s life.
But when they were connected with a Damar
resident named Lukas a couple of years ago
through Damar’s One-on-One Volunteer
Program, they got both: a chance to give back
and a chance to welcome someone new into their
family. In no time, Luke – as the family calls him
– became a regular on family outings, attending
baseball games, going fishing and just hanging
out around the house with Jeff and Toni’s kids,
Cameron, Bridgette and Morgan.
Hundreds of people volunteer for Damar each
year, many of them people who choose to spend
one-on-one time with Damar clients. And,
while the impetus for volunteering usually is a
desire to give to someone else, just about every
volunteer will say he or she gets the most out of
the relationship.
And the Schabels are no exception. “Luke has
shined a light on our family and made us grow
in so many ways,” Toni Schabel said. “He will
always be a part of our family.”
Help children and adults who need your help.

Internships bring classroom lessons to life
Emily Wiegand has learned a lot about nonprofit organizations in her master’s level classes at Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis. But the nine months the Ohio native has spent working in
Damar’s Internship and Practicum Program adds relevance to her studies. “I’m able to incorporate some of
the skills that I’m learning in the classroom at Damar, and vice versa,” she said. “It’s been great.”
Expecting to graduate in December with degrees in nonprofit business management and philanthropic
studies, Emily has learned by doing hands-on donor research and grant writing. She also has benefited from
watching Damar serve developmentally challenged children and adults. Moved by Damar’s work, she says
she feels good knowing that she’s contributing to something positive and meaningful.
Having engaged in church-based charity work overseas, Emily hopes to one day lead a nonprofit
organization with an international outreach. “I have a heart to see people’s physical and spiritual needs being
met,” she says. Thanks to Damar, she has real-world experience and knowledge to go with that giving heart.
Looking for a fun internship that offers real-world experience? Opportunities abound at Damar!

To all of our donors, we at Damar can say little more than,

The smiles say it all
Want to know whether Damar’s Annual Fund can make
a difference in a young person’s life? Look at Zach’s smile.
Not long ago, that smile was almost a liability for
21-year-old Zach. His crowded and uneven teeth
impeded his speech, caused him to drool and made
him terribly self-conscious. Generous donations to the
Damar Annual Fund allowed Zach to get braces and
dental services that, quite frankly, changed his life.
Designed to help with matters not typically covered by
other funding sources, the Annual Fund provides for
braces, eyeglasses, clothing and other things that could
affect a client’s chances for success. The Annual Fund
Committee is creative in its funding decisions, and the
group embraces the holistic philosophies central to
Damar’s success.
Damar nurse Angie Fine worked with Dr. Jeffrey Dean
at Westpointe Dentistry to arrange for Zach’s dental
work. Dr. Dean was so willing to help that he provided
services for Zach and another Damar client named
Aaron at a discounted cost.
Like Zach, Aaron had trouble speaking clearly because
of his teeth. He was so self-conscious that he would look
down when he spoke. Now, 20-year-old Aaron holds his
head up and speaks more clearly.
And, of course, like Zach, Aaron smiles more often than
before. And why not? Thanks to the Annual Fund, they
have new reasons to.

difference at Damar! Call 317.856.5201

Acres of vision for the future
If you had 8 acres of property at a key intersection in a thriving business park, what would you do? Put
in a restaurant, or maybe a little retail strip? Build a distribution facility and lease it to clients? Sell it for
a nice profit?
If you’re Holladay Properties, the answer is “None of the above.”
Instead, Holladay Properties allowed Damar to take ownership of the land, which is adjacent to our
fast-growing 38-acre campus. The in-kind gift, valued at more than $468,000, helped Damar wrap up
its $6 million Exceeding Expectations capital campaign.
The developers behind the 1,500-acre AmeriPlex business park that has grown up around Damar,
Holladay Properties always has been a good neighbor, with company representatives like Chris Wilkes
(pictured) getting involved in a variety of ways. But now the company has taken neighborliness to a new
level, putting into Damar’s hands the property it needs to support a vision for future expansion.
An investment in Damar is an investment in the community. Learn how your organization can help us
build better futures for those we proudly serve! Visit damardonors.org
