Giving Tuesday - December 2, 2025

Mary Cariola Center is so much more than school classrooms and residential homes— it is a place where hope takes root and possibilities bloom. As the regional leader in personalized, interdisciplinary, evidence-based education and life skill solutions, we inspire and empower individuals with complex disabilities and families who love them.

On December 2 - Giving Tuesday - YOUR gift becomes a lifeline of possibility. It fuels our clinicians, educators, community service programs, and families so that students and residents can achieve milestones once thought impossible — speaking a first word, taking a first step, or simply feeling the joy of belonging.

Your gift will:

• Support specialized education that meets each student exactly where they are, unlocking their unique potential.

• Creates meaningful community engagement opportunities so students and residents can shine, connect, and be celebrated.

• Ensure families have access to a trusted network of support, guidance, food, household necessities, and — most importantly — hope.

• Empower our staff to grow as educators and advocates, walking beside students as they discover their true abilities and voices.

Together, we can transform challenges into triumphs. Your generosity doesn’t just fund programs — it writes new stories of courage, joy, and achievement. Join us and donate on Giving Tuesday, December 2.
