2012 annual report - The League for People with Disabilities

HERE FOR GOOD
THE LEAGUE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Annual Report | 2012
FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & CEO
DEAR FRIENDS,
Here at The League, our mission is Independence.
Through therapeutic programming, we nurture
strengths to help our participants live their
best life possible. Every day, we strive to help
individuals focus on putting their abilities first.
THE STORY OF OUR MISSION
Founded in 1927 based on the progressive ideas of Isabelle Kann Frank, The
League for People with Disabilities celebrates its 85th year of providing life
changing therapies for people living with disabilities in our community. We
strive to continue the pioneering spirit of our founder, to foster independence
and ensure the best lives possible for all we serve. Today, The League offers a full
continuum of therapeutic, vocational and rehabilitative services, which include:
Medical Day, Day Habilitation, Vocational, Camping, Therapeutic Recreation,
Wellness Center, League Industries and Autism Services. The League is a vast
community of partners, volunteers, participants and staff that work together
to ensure the pioneering mission of our founder is here for generations to come.
The year 2012 was a year of milestones, marking
the 75th summer at Camp Greentop as well as
the 85th year of The League. To celebrate these
tremendous milestones we unveiled a special fund
raising initiative, The Fund for Camp, to ensure
camping and respite programs are here today,
tomorrow and for future generations. The Fund
will also help enhance the year-round Recreation
and Respite Program and develop staff dedicating
their careers to working with our people
with disabilities.
Our Annual Awards and Advocacy Dinner,
entitled “Milestones”, honored those who have
made significant and lasting contributions
in helping us reach these milestones. On the
Anniversary of Camp’s 75th summer, we
celebrated at Camp, inviting past and present
campers, directors, counselors,
volunteers, staff and supporters who shared
stories, laughed a lot and reminisced about
summers gone by.
Thanks to our generous donors, we provided 38
camperships to send financially disadvantaged
individuals to Camp Greentop and significantly
supported the operating costs of the vital
therapeutic recreation programs at The League.
Annually, we serve over 2,000 individuals
with disabilities including autism, brain injury,
cerebral palsy and many other challenges. Our
participants strive to achieve their highest level
of independence and live productive lives. We
invite you to see our mission at work. Whether
you’re an old or new friend, we appreciate your
interest in our organization and we hope you
will want to learn more!
We thank our community of volunteers,
partners and friends who help make up The
League for People with Disabilities; you ensure
our mission of independence and quality of
life is here for good.
Thank you for a momentous 85th year and many more to come.

CHAMPIONS FOR GOOD
Renee Gordon and Michael Hettleman
Co-Chairs, Fund for Camp
Throughout its 75 year history, Camp Greentop
has provided life changing experiences for tens
of thousands of individuals with disabilities.
Board Member Renee Gordon knows first hand
the therapeutic benefits that a program like
camp provides. “I know that Camp Greentop
transforms lives…the smile that lights up Alex’s
face as we round the bend to Camp Greentop
each summer says it all! That Alex, who has
Autism and cannot speak, can express such
happiness is truly a gift to me and my husband
Barry.” Cara, the mother of another camper
attests that when her son, who also has Autism,
comes home from camp, “he has an easier time
socializing with us, his family. He interacts
more, he smiles more and just seems happier.”
To celebrate Camp Greentop’s 75th milestone,
The League’s Board of Directors launched an
initiative to establish The Fund for Camp, that
ensures recreational and respite programming
like Camp Greentop is here today, tomorrow
and for future generations. This past summer,
thanks to the generous assistance of our donors,
The League was able to provide 38 individuals
the financial assistance needed to attend a camp
session or assisted travel trip. “Camp Greentop
stands today, not because of the efforts of
one organization, but rather as a culmination
of a tremendous wave of effort from many
charitable individuals and civic organizations”
says Michael Hettleman, dedicated volunteer
for 45 years, member of the Board of Directors,
and co-chair of the Fund for Camp.
Though the 75th year has come to a close, the
Fund for Camp continues, as a sustaining fund
used to provide financial aid to our participants,
support the Endowment for Camp Greentop,
and to enhance the Therapeutic Recreation and
Respite programs at The League.
We would like to once again extend our
most grateful thank you to our Fund for
Camp donors, who have helped to ensure
the friendship, fun and magic of Camp is
and always will be… here for good!

HERE FOR JACKIE
Jackie came to The League after a series
of strokes left her partially paralyzed.
She was eager to take part in all of the life
enriching activities The League has to
offer, including Camp Greentop.
Limited resources prevent some individuals
from taking part in therapeutic recreational
activities like Camp and Assisted Travel.
The Fund for Camp ensures people like
Jackie can participate in these programs
through special funds called Camperships.
Camperships help support campers who
otherwise would be unable to attend camp and
enjoy its fun and adventure for financial reasons.
For someone like Jackie, who may be limited in
terms of mobility, but not in spirit, the fun is
endless! When asked what she liked most about
camp, Jackie said “I forgot about my health
problems, I had no worries or cares. I was with
people like me. The League is the only place
where people don’t make me feel different.”
Perhaps the most powerful of her words were,
“I never knew I could do that.”
Jackie received assistance through the National
Park Rangers Campership, funded in tribute to
the Bush Family, that was established this year.
Camp Greentop ensures that no camper is
turned away because he or she cannot afford
camp. In fact, approximately 75 percent of
our campers receive financial support of
some type to attend.

HERE FOR JUDY
Judy first came to Camp Greentop when
she was seven years old, in the summer
of 1962. She didn’t attend the following
year, but came again in 1964, and has
returned every year since.
If you ask Judy what’s changed since her
first summer at camp in 1962, she would
say hairstyles and music, but not much else.
Over the past 75 years, Camp Greentop,
nestled in the majestic Catoctin Mountains,
has preserved much of its rustic charm and
tradition of the days of old. Many campers
return to Greentop year after year, hoping
7
to reunite with old friends and staff of summers
gone by. Judy quips, “My favorite things about
camp are friendship, fresh air, and the pool.”
We look forward to 2013, when Judy
celebrates her 50th summer at Camp
Greentop, and many more to come!
