Between Friends

Between Friends Between Friends facilitates programs with these goals in mind while promoting a focus on shared interests over individual differences.

Many people with disabilities seek social and recreational activities that are fundamental to enriching self-esteem, quality of life, and mental and physical health. Between Friends offers children, youth and adults a variety of programs that remove the barriers of isolation and truly function as the building blocks of friendship. We encourage diversity by connecting our community with their fellow citizens with disabilities, providing ongoing development and benefitting all people through the sharing of unique talents and perspectives

🎉For our last highlight before the big day, let us introduce (a familiar face to the Between Friends community)... Peighton!🎉

The spearhead of the Friends in Motion team "Powered by Peighton" and a fundraising force to be reckoned with, Peighton has set her personal goal at $15,000!

While this may seem lofty to some, Peighton raised a huge $16,545 last year, and in her six years of fundraising for Between Friends, has raised a over $200,000! If anyone can do it, Peighton can!

With almost $5,000 in the bank so far, help Peighton reach her goal today!
