Philanthropy

Funds raised throughout the year by the Parca Auxiliary are a major component of Parca Organization’s annual fundraising efforts, and are critical to Parca Organization’s ability to provide high-quality support and services to adults and children with developmental disabilities and their families.  Among the services Parca Organization provides are support groups and networking opportunities, information and referral, community outreach and advocacy and a variety of resources and recreational opportunities.

The Parca Auxiliary invites you to Luncheon In The Serengeti on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at a private estate of Kelly and Bruce Bligh in Hillsborough.

Funds raised at the Parca Auxiliary’s 22nd Annual Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show, Bienvenue a Parca, were used for a van for the Parca REACH program.

 

Parca Auxiliary’s 21st Annual Luncheon and Fashion Show, Cirque de Mai funds will go toward a much needed safety and cosmetic overhaul of the common area at Raji House.  Raji House is a weekend out-of-home respite care program for children and teens with developmental disabilities.

Parents can leave their children in the care of trained staff for short periods of time.  At Raji House, clients can participate in activities such as arts and crafts, music and movement, story time, outdoor games and field trips.  It is the only program of its kind on the San Francisco Peninsula. The funds will help revitalize Raji House so it can continue to provide clients with a fun, happy, and safe environment where they can explore and interact with other children and will directly impact families and their well-being. You can find more about Parca's Raji House HERE.
